Bug Description

I am running the latest Bleachbit as root on Ubuntu 12.04 with Cinnamon and consistently get the above error with tmp followed by a lengthy string of characters. Additionally, now I am also unable to use my mail.com account because of a persistent unresponsive script. Waiting and stopping script do not help. Can anyone suggest solutions to these two issues?

Thank you

What is the string of characters? Please copy the whole error message and path verbatim. The script is most likely unrelated, but you can try rebooting.

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for replying. The full error is: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/tmpuOldmdUt75b u7PP8F99ZvzTQxaRB.soGUZd itO1gblDv9QNgBuCN0urLgV0e02SnfNaUtelR6D-V30EFtYaMETPAAF9nMzbjtZ5EDImsb1yvapIgtpkMTu7WtcJw7Ahp4 ZC1qTDbL6K8nQulJPUamWZFLzvWmN0G8vI7EqFU.d86xogmlBsGTX81Cc8WvUC Xtb387JUbkUHDxaKf sdGBAtoPJ94COwdjnJxV8M-gSn6u_Sle_jeCAm'

I have run synaptic reload and update, computer janitor and rebooted several times with no effect to get rid of this error. If you have any further suggestions regarding this error code or the email unresponsive script problem, please contact me at your convenience.

Thank you in advance.

Dave

Do know which cleaner is triggering this error? This path does not look like one that BleachBit normally cleans.

Bleachbit is the only thing running when I get this error. It is set to overwrite free space on /home/"user", /tmp and /root. Received the same error message again today after running Bleachbit as administrator.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Sincerely,

Dave

Also in the next BleachBit release, coming soon, the overwrite feature was largely rewritten and may solve this problem.

Hi again,

I attempted to solve the problem by upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10. Unfortunately, the system won't allow me to upgrade either.
