not able to save any document _no free disk space
hi
i have installed ubuntu few months back. Everything was fine. From last one day, i have not been able to save any document. it shows error message saying there is no free disk space. When checked my home folder's space , total space of home folder is 14 GB. When i installed ubuntu ( dual boot with window), i had allocated 60 GB of space to ubuntu. I am wondering how all of sudden all the space disappeared and there is no space to save any document. My firefox is crashing frequently. When i want to shut down or restart click the button it doesnot bring up the shut down window. i have down do power off to shutdown .
regards

the output of the command suggested by Daniel will help us track down your problem. for you to get a visual impression maybe a tool like baobab is better. try launching it by running "baobab" in a terminal...

I ran command as suggested by Daniel and ran Baobab in terminal. When i scan file system by disk usage analyzer, there is one directory /media/SEA_Disk which was taking most of the space 73% (45 GB) of total disk sapce available. That directory was created by me to mount SEAGATE External hard drive as it did not automount. i also installed Sbackup from synaptic manager and chose my external hard drive as the destination for the backup. Everytime i have to run sudo mount -o uid=1000 -t vfat /sdb1/dev /media/SEA_DISK to mount my external hard drive. During set up of SBACKUP i chose my seagate external hard drive as my destination . i thought backup file will be saved in my external hard drive. But it seems it is taking space of hard of my laptop. when i tried to delete backup file in media/sea_disk it is not allowing me to delete. i do not know how to save the report of disk uasage analyzer . So sorry i couldnot paste the result. however i have pasted result of sudo du -hc --max-depth=1 --, but it does not shows information about media/SEA_DISK
here is the result of sudo du -hc --max-depth=1 --

Please try to purge your downloaded deb packages to get some free space:
Open a Terminal from the menu Applications-
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
Hope this helps.

Actually after i ran disk usage analyzer, i found my backup program was storing my automatic backup file in my hard disk which took most of the space. i deleted those files and it solved my problem.
