# QDiskInfo
|
|
QDiskInfo is a frontend for smartctl (part of the smartmontools package). It provides a user experience similar to CrystalDiskInfo. It shows the SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) data of modern hard disk drives.
|
|
|
|
The icon is a modified version of the KDE Partition Manager logo which is available under GPL-3.0+.

## Packages
|
|
[](https://repology.org/project/qdiskinfo/versions)
|
|
<br>Other than those mentioned in the widget above, there is also:
|
|
- A [Fedora Copr Repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/birkch/QDiskInfo)
|
|
- A Flatpak is currently <span style="color:red">NOT</span> possible due to a [permission issue](https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/2452)
|
|
- AppImages which include smartctl can be downloaded [here](https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo/actions) if you are logged in with a GitHub account.
|
|
- Binaries that work on every distro can be found [here](https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo/releases/latest)
|
|
|
|
## Compiling and Installing
|
|
### Compilation and Runtime Dependencies
|
|
Debian and Debian-based distros (Ubuntu, Mint, Pop!_OS, etc.)
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo apt install build-essential cmake git libgl1-mesa-dev libxkbcommon-dev qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools qt6-wayland smartmontools
|
|
```
|
|
Fedora and derivatives (Nobara Project, etc.)
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo dnf install cmake git mesa-libGL-devel libxkbcommon-devel qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qttools-devel qt6-qtwayland-devel smartmontools
|
|
```
|
|
Arch Linux (includes Manjaro, EndeavourOS. CachyOS, Garuda Linux, etc.)
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo pacman -Syu base-devel cmake hicolor-icon-theme polkit qt6-base qt6-svg smartmontools
|
|
```
|
|
### Compilation Steps
|
|
First you will need to clone the repository and cd inside
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo.git && cd QDiskInfo
|
|
```
|
|
Then you must create a build directory and cd inside, you can name it `build`
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir build && cd build
|
|
```
|
|
After that use CMake to setup the project. Qt version can also be set to 5 (for example for Ubuntu), translations can also be disabled if you don't want to install the required tools package
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=MinSizeRel -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 -DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON
|
|
```
|
|
Finally, compile the project with all the threads using
|
|
```sh
|
|
make -j$(nproc)
|
|
```
|
|
This will create a `QDiskInfo` binary on the build directory but you can also install it using
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo make install
|
|
```
|
|
If you installed QDiskInfo on your system using `sudo make install` and wish to uninstall it then run
|
|
```sh
|
|
sudo xargs rm < install_manifest.txt
|
|
```
|
|
in your build directory. The `install_manifest.txt` file is generated after running `sudo make install` so if you no longer have it, you can install again and then uninstall.
|
|
|
|
## Localisation
|
|
Currently, QDiskInfo has support for the following languages:
|
|
- 🌐 English (C)
|
|
- 🇬🇷 Greek (el_GR)
|
|
- 🇪🇸 Spanish (es_ES)
|
|
- 🇧🇷 Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR)
|
|
- 🇨🇳 Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)
|
|
|
|
You can translate QDiskInfo to your language very easily using [Crowdin](https://crowdin.com/project/qdiskinfo). If your language isn't available on Crowdin, feel free to create a new issue.
|
|
<br><br>Alternatively you can copy the qdiskinfo_en_US.ts, which can be found inside the translations folder, to the locale you want. For example to qdiskinfo_de_DE.ts for German. Then you can use the QT Linguist application to translate the strings, marking every finished one with a tick. Compile the project with `-DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON` to test your translation.
|
|
<br>If your system language differs from the one you are translating to, you can use
|
|
```sh
|
|
LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 ./QDiskInfo
|
|
```
|
|
to force the app to use the language of your choice.<br>
|
|
<br>If changes were made to the original strings and your Qt version is <6.7 you can use the `lupdate` command to update the .ts files, for example to update the German translation file from the project's root you would run
|
|
```sh
|
|
lupdate . -ts translations/qdiskinfo_de_DE.ts -noobsolete
|
|
```
|
|
For Qt >=6.7 this is done automatically when running `make`.
|
|
|
|
## Common Issues
|
|
### Icons are Missing
|
|
If you are using QDiskInfo outside KDE, the arrows on the navigation keys and some other icons may be missing. To fix this install the Qt6 Configuration Tool (qt6ct) and append `export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct` to the file `/etc/environment`
|
|
|
|
## Using CrystalDiskInfo Anime Themes
|
|
The process is similar to the one above with a few changes:<br>
|
|
First you must download the edition of CrystalDiskInfo you want (Aoi for example) in ZIP format from [here](https://crystalmark.info/en/download/), from this archive you shall copy the light and dark backgrounds as well as the good, caution, bad, unknown icons to dist/theme with the same name as the templates there.<br>
|
|
Once you do that compile like above but when running CMake do this instead:
|
|
```sh
|
|
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=MinSizeRel -DQT_VERSION_MAJOR=6 -DINCLUDE_OPTIONAL_RESOURCES=ON -DCHARACTER_IS_RIGHT=ON -DENABLE_TRANSLATIONS=ON
|
|
```
|
|
Regarding the `-DCHARACTER_IS_RIGHT` set it to ON for themes where the character is right (like Aoi) or OFF for most other themes.
