(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I'll check it out and see what happened later today

Edit: Figured out the problem, I am fixing it now.

Fixed the problem with the 0.8.8 pet it is working fine now.

Thank you Dpup5520 yes it does work. Wish it is pre-installed in the next puppy release!

You could make a request to the devs or in the 5.3 developers/testers thread.

Bleachbit 8.8 for linux has versions for the following linux distros, but not puppy:

Debian 5 (Lenny)
Debian 6 (Squeeze)

Has anyone had success getting any of these to work in Lucid Puppy 525?

After installing python 2.6 lucid, Bleachbit 8.8 works for me in LuPu525...

bleachbit isn't compiled for puppy on their site but as new versions come out i try to keep up and compile all new versions from the source and yes all versions of bleachbit rely on python.

Hi does anybody know if there is a bleach bit pet for wary 5.3?.

I did make a Pet for Wary 5.3 based on Bleachbit 0.9.3 Although the source code seemed to compile correctly, and without any errors, upon installing the Pet, I found that Bleachbit was missing several entries for cleaning purposes including SeaMonkey, Flash, and Java. So, I un-installed the package and will not be submitting it to the Forum. Maybe a future version will build properly.

Edit: UPDATE --BleachBit will build correctly with some adjustment... see my latest post.

That said, we are in luck because Bleachbit will still work in Puppy. It turns out that Bleachbit is written in Python, and because Python is an interpretive language as the developer says, there is no need to compile the program as it is a complete package and will run as is --providing all dependencies are met, and for Bleachbit 0.9.3 in this case, Python 2.7 is required which you can get from over here.

To use Bleachbit, download the source code, extract it, then place it in a directory such as my-applications or opt for example, or to your own folder somewhere in the home directory. The only advantage to creating a Pet for bleachbit would seem to be that one avoids having to use the terminal. Many people prefer a Pet over having to use the command line, but in this case, Bleachbit has a GUI once it starts, so it is fairly user friendly after all.

Here is bleachbit-0.9.3 that I built in Saluki, I edited the make file to read then ran and to build the package used splitpkg.sh via the terminal to split the package then dir2pet.
the dependency for the pet is set to +Python as used in Saluki, hope this is usable.

Thanks, Geoffrey

I didn't bother with trying any options with the make file, because there was no info on this in the readme file from the developer... but in retrospect, I could have given this a shot...

I will try this again with Wary Puppy, because I know that many people would prefer to install a Pet instead of extracting a package and using the command line... In the event that I am successful, I will have to edit my previous post and... eat a bit of Crow for being so presumptuous.

UPDATE

Here is BleachBit-0.9.3 compiled in Wary Puppy 5.3 Note that Python 2.7 is a dependency, and will have to be installed first.

It turns out for me that Bleachbit does not want to build properly in the local pathway, and so removing that one directory in the makefile seems to make all the difference... I have included support for international languages in this Pet rather than build it as a separate package... the final size seems reasonable.

Cheers,
Monsie

Thanks, this version also works in Lucid Puppy 528

(running bleachbit immediately before making a remastered puppy is very convenient!)

Built the latest Bleachbit version 0.9.4 in Carolina, dependency checking +Python

Built the latest Bleachbit version 0.9.5 in Carolina, dependency checking +Python

I was looking at my bash history and realized I had built a record with hundreds of entries. While I could have simply deleted the file at
and the file would have been re-generated once I started using the terminal again, I wondered about doing a regular cleaning with Bleachbit.

It turns out that Bleachbit is configured to delete the bash history, but the file is named incorrectly for Puppy, so it doesn't show up in the menu for cleaning purposes. This is easily fixed. --> /usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners and right click on bash.xml to Open As Text. Look for the following line: modify it to read: Save your changes, close out, then run Bleachbit and you should see the new entry for your command-line history. Now you can check the two boxes for Bash and this file will be included for cleaning. In fact your .history file will be deleted, but there are no worries because it will be created anew the next time you run a command at the terminal.

For anyone wanting to compile Bleachbit in future, this change should be easily made in the source code.

Monsie

WOO cleaned 11.9MB...

Anyway thank you Monsie for the bash history edit. Thank you Geoffrey for the pet.

I may see if I can do a portable version sometime soon.

EDIT: Portable Bleachbit done

Hello Monsie

Hi vicmz,

First, my apologies in not getting back to you sooner...

Do you have Python 2.7 installed? The Python package includes PyGTK and I suspect this is the missing module. (Puppy will have GTK by default). See this thread in the bleachbit support forum:
http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/forum/ ... u-1204-lts

Hope this helps,
Monsie
