# 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

[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/qdiskinfo.svg)](https://repology.org/project/qdiskinfo/versions)


Other than those mentioned in the widget above, there is also:

 - A [Fedora Copr Repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/birkch/QDiskInfo)

 - A [Gentoo Portage Overlay](http://gpo.zugaina.org/sys-apps/qdiskinfo)

 - A Flatpak is currently NOT 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, you need to run them using sudo/doas/run0 currently. See [here](https://github.com/edisionnano/QDiskInfo/issues/5) for AppImage issues.

 - 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-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.



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.


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.


If changes were made to the original strings you can use the `lupdate` command to update the .ts files, for example to update the German translation file you would run

```sh

lupdate src/ -ts translations/qdiskinfo_de_DE.ts -noobsolete

```



## 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:


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.


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.
