I have just installed Debian 8.5 Jessie on my computer and I can't find a disk manager. Then I wrote this command to terminal: apt-get install disk-manager. A software installed and I tried to start the software, I clicked and it wanted to root password, I wrote and software didn't start. I wonder is all of this packages safe? The software which I installed on my computer is safe? and How can I install a disk manager on Debian?

@Enes: I can't say anything about the safety of
disk-manager. Never used it before. It seems to be python-based. Perhaps your setup is missing some dependencies, and therefore has troubles starting it. What's the debug output?Alex Stragies– Alex Stragies2016-06-12 12:05:50 +00:00Commented Jun 12, 2016 at 12:05
The disk-manager package is safe , it's already installed on your system after runing :
apt-get install disk-manager
Just open the terminal and type the following command:
KDE desktop :
gksu disk-managerGnome :
gksudo disk-manager
