Ok so I figured out it's a problem with wiping free disk space or doing any kind of deep scan which I don't use Bleachbit for which is why I never saw it and the error does happen with a frugal install to hd if theres not a lot of space left in the savefile. As for the error appearing in a frugal usb install it appears that puppy is incorrectly reporting the amount of ram that is left and therefore Bleachbit thinks that the pc/computer/laptop is out of memory and errors out.

Thank you for clarifying that.DPUP5520 wrote:To put it simply no Puppy does not include utlities that can do what bleachbit is designed to do.
Does Puppy automatically clear at least some of the saved logs and cache when they reach a certain size?
(This is just an honest and innocent inquiry; I do not mean to imply or suggest anything or make any point by it)
I had simply suggested that the RAM full error being reported in this thread might be caused by running BleachBit with the wipe free disk space and/or wipe RAM options checked- a conclusion you yourself reached in your latest post.Noone ever said that bleachbit was supposed to be used for secure deletion as it is no way suited for that,
My caution regarding the limitations of wiping free space (especially on solid state flash media but also on hard drives) was a general one and not aimed at BleachBit specifically, about which I never meant to imply anything one way or the other.
EDIT: I just noticed a thread in the security section here on the concern with solid-state drives that I had mentioned:
The security limitations of solid-state drives
Looks interesting.
New version of bleachbit out. version 0.8.8 along wit some added extras.

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.

Bleachbit
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.jigglypuff wrote:Hi does anybody know if there is a bleach bit pet for wary 5.3?.
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.
Code: Select all
cd /path/to/bleachbit
python bleachbit.py

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.
Code: Select all
prefix ?= /usr
bindir ?= $(prefix)/bin
datadir ?= $(prefix)/share
Code: Select all
make -C po local
Code: Select all
new2dir make install
the dependency for the pet is set to +Python as used in Saluki, hope this is usable.

Bleachbit
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,

Also works in Lupu 528 005
Thanks, this version also works in Lucid Puppy 528
(running bleachbit immediately before making a remastered puppy is very convenient!)
