Hello ALL

I would like to raise kind of a bug with this script and would appreciate if the owner of it could have a look at it and fix it

Few weeks ago I have manually upgraded to new version of ALSA divers. All was fine (sound in speakers was ok suboffer as well evan my mic was working) until I run this script (71529-ubucleaner.sh) Then I have noticed that mic stop working. The reason for that was that some of the files (mic module - dont know which one) was deleted.

Could someone have a look at this issue and try to avoid deleting alsa files.

Kind Regards,

pi4r0n

You may also like BleachBit which can remove hundreds of MBs from your system. I wrote BleachBit and plan to add features like this script has.

I use apt-get, so edited aptitude purge to dpkg -purge like stated above, and get this when running it:

Removing old kernels…
dpkg: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect’ or `aptitude’ for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license|--licence for copyright licence and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*].

Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less’ or `more’ !
Emptying every trashes…
Script Finished!

Brilliant! Worked as smoothly as anything. Nothing like a fresh Ubuntu for the New Year.

Ditto what Mason says.

Just FYI, to execute the script it should be

sudo ./71529-ubucleaner.sh

I’m sure everyone can figure that out, but I think it should be changed so the tutorial is accurate.

Hi Yurek
I have made some corrections to the english version of the script and the language file is now ready to go. Can I email it to you?
You can contact me at jonolumb [[((at))]] gmail.com (remove both brackets)

Hey, since I’ve used ubucleaner I couldn’t load HAL anymore. The only problem is erlated to the ethernet card that is no more operational. It’s a inboard ethernet card, all of the rest (the nvidia driver and compiz for example) are working well, any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks and best regards,

Havilson

I would be happy to translate the script to English if it is moved to Launchpad.

if i use apt-get, it would be the same command, just leave the aptitude in the script, or how would i edit that?

Thanks for the followup

Hello Again.

I’ll contact the other authors to translate the script in English. We’ll probably improve it a bit to allow translations in many other languages (e.g: one file of code and one file of Strings wich can be translated). I think that once the base will be correct, other translations will follow.

I’ll give you more information on this thread as soon as possible.

@Dvergeylen

Really Nice script.Is there anyway you can provide english version of this so that we can write tutorial about that.

Thanks for your nice script

Hello.

I’m one of the autors of a similar script, but a little more advanced (but it’s in french).

See more features on : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/maintenir_systeme.
It’s very easy to use (you have to select the task you want to be done) and it will do it for you. It’s obviously totally under GPL licence so you can re-use the bash script.

Enjoy!
