[solved] odd effects running bleachbit

[entropyfoe]

OK, I was able to switch back to the white background in the preferances.
I am up to date with the 4.1.0 version, the change log shows Stevep packaged this version Sept 4th. So, maybe it was when I upgraded from 4.0.0 that the preference was changed.

Maybe you post a screenshot of what are checked. (I'm also using Bleachbit on default MX for years with no issues)

I'm not at home right now but I can tell you that everything was checked, except:

clipboard
custom
free disk space
memory

I'll post the version number when I get home.

I've run bb for years without issue [should replace our default cleaner imho],but I have never run it as a background process [on with start-up]. I wonder if just invoking it at the end of a session and not running it all the time would make a difference?

Not bad. Just uncheck the Cache, too and try . Then uncheck "Apt" (whole) for the user Bleachbit and keep it so.. Anyway, it gives errors when checked.

On the root Bleachbit just check the "Apt" and that's enough indeed . Actually on mine, some more are checked but when you look at the cleaning result, 99.99% is Apt (say 137.8 MB out of 138 totally), and all others are just KBs .. (even isn't worth it ... )

P.S. If you had installed BB another way, you can purge it, then install from Stable Repo from MX Package Installer. (That's also the latest one currently).

That fixed it -- no more weirdness.

Thanks.
