Title: Lite Tweaks - Suggestions welcomed
Post by: Jerry on September 04, 2014, 04:51:45 PM
Our next addition to the Lite application family will be Lite Tweaks.

Install:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-cleaner

Before we embark on this, I'd like to ask the community for the type of tasks they'd like to see in a cleaner.
For example:

Let the ideas flow. Remember, no idea is a bad idea :)

What? Like Bleachbit? Personally. I am too much of a control freak to trust a autocleaner.

Hope you don't mind what I post. If so I will modify and delete

 Remove unwanted junk.

Code: [Select]
apt-get autoremove

Code: [Select]
deborphan | xargs apt-get -y remove
Code: [Select]
  COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l |grep ^rc |awk '{print $2} ' | xargs dpkg -P

There should be an option to remove old kernels.
I guess these are already in the script.
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoclean
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get clean
Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get autoremove
Maybe clearing thumbnail cache
Code: [Select]
rm -f ~/.cache/thumbnails/normal/*Purging unused configuration files
Code: [Select]
sudo dpkg --purge $(COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l | grep "^rc" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d ' ' -f 2)Trash cleanup
Code: [Select]
rm -r -f ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*Browser cache cleanup, would also be usefull.

I've found this 7 year old, yet very interesting script called "Ubucleaner" License: GPL
It might help you.
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

OLDCONF=$(dpkg -l|grep "^rc"|awk '{print $2}')
CURKERNEL=$(uname -r|sed 's/-*[a-z]//g'|sed 's/-386//g')
LINUXPKG="linux-(image|headers|ubuntu-modules|restricted-modules)"
METALINUXPKG="linux-(image|headers|restricted-modules)-(generic|i386|server|common|rt|xen)"
OLDKERNELS=$(dpkg -l|awk '{print $2}'|grep -E $LINUXPKG |grep -vE $METALINUXPKG|grep -v $CURKERNEL)
YELLOW="\033[1;33m"
RED="\033[0;31m"
ENDCOLOR="\033[0m"

if [ $USER != root ]; then
  echo -e $RED"Error: must be root"
  echo -e $YELLOW"Exiting..."$ENDCOLOR
  exit 0
fi

echo -e $YELLOW"Cleaning apt cache..."$ENDCOLOR
aptitude clean

echo -e $YELLOW"Removing old config files..."$ENDCOLOR
sudo aptitude purge $OLDCONF

echo -e $YELLOW"Removing old kernels..."$ENDCOLOR
sudo aptitude purge $OLDKERNELS

Thank you. I made some modifications. Some options are preselected now and I figured out how to change the formating of the text.
More text options are here: https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html (https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/pango-markup-language.html)
It looks like it only works if you set text like this
--text='<span foreground="blue"> content </span>'
with '  '  not with " "

This maybe a stupid question, but I was just wondering if it is at all possible, to help brand new users like me, to have a drop down on right click on any program/app and have an UnInstall choice which will 'take-out' the whole program and its dependencies.

Nice.
I've had some experiments on removing individual old kernels instead of all old kernels.
Code: [Select]
#! /bin/bash

CURKERNEL=$(uname -r|sed 's/-*[a-z]//g'|sed 's/-386//g')

METALINUXPKG="linux-(image|headers|restricted-modules)-(generic|i386|server|common|rt|xen)"
OLDKERNELS=$(dpkg -l|awk '{print $2}'|grep -E $LINUXPKG |grep -vE $METALINUXPKG|grep -v $CURKERNEL)

# sed command adds all FALSE entries in the column 'Select'
# separator sets the output of the checklist, "\n" can also be used
selection=$(echo "$OLDKERNELS" | sed -e 's/^/FALSE\n/' | zenity --window-icon="$ic" --list --checklist --separator=" " --width=890 --height=400   --column='Select' --column='Kernel' \
--text=' ' --title="Lite Cleaner" --ok-label="Clean" --cancel-label="Quit" )

# Next line just tests the output of a checklist
echo "$selection"
# Next line deletes all of the selected kernels
# gksudo "$(echo "$selection" | sed -e 's/^/sudo apt-get purge -y /')"

Post by: anon222 on September 08, 2014, 11:14:14 PM
OK so I made a lot of changes.
First the script checks if there are any old kernels/headers...
If there are no old kernels it will just display a message.
This version will purge any output it gets from $checklist.
If no item was selected it will display a message 'Nothing was selected.'.
Cancel button in the progress bar is hidden.
The only thing I can't fix is that message when I click on Quit: 'Nothing was selected.'.
I guess I can always change the message to 'Nothing was selected or you pressed Quit.' :)

If I understand this scenario, which may not be the case...?
It when there is nothing showing to select?

Lite Cleaner is now available for download:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lite-cleaner
Current version: litecleaner_1.0-0030

Installs to: Menu, System, Lite Cleaner or you can run lite-cleaner from the command line.

Once the kernel portion is perfected we will include that is a future for release but for now, there should be enough tools there to clean some peoples systems significantly. A HUGE thank you to those who contributed code and ideas, this couldn't be possible without your input, so I thank you all, and so do the people who use our software :)

It's not working well when you have multiple users.
When I start it from terminal:
Code: [Select]
du: cannot read directory ‘/home/misko2/.thumbnails/’: Permission deniedThat's because it will try to display cache size from all the users:
Code: [Select]
THUMBCACHESIZE=$(du -sh /home/*/.thumbnails/ | awk '{print $1}')

Ok, I have limited this to per-user function. I think it's a more sensible approach as people will probably not want others messing with their home folder on multiple user systems.

Cool, tested and it's all ok now.
That approach is much better.

One more thing.
Maybe you could make a contest on the forum for the design of that lite-cleaner icon.
This one looks a like a toaster that's stuck in the golf hole. :D

Thank you all for this fine app.
Can one add Chromium to the list?
Have some questions regarding left over items that will not delete. Is this by design? For example there are 44k worth of files from my apt cache, 4.0K from my thumbnail cache, and 16.0K from my Trash bin. Have been re selecting these and am being told the removal has been completed...only they're still there? Not quite sure what this means? Thanks, in advance.

Can you run lite-cleaner from the command line and paste the output when you have finished running Autoremove packages.

Worked very well and very fast; except for this message:

(http://thegomc.com/DPInew/image-664F_54178C54.jpg) (http://thegomc.com/DPInew/share-664F_54178C54.html)


I am not sure of its significance, but thought that it might be worth reporting.

Thanks

Can you run lite-cleaner from the command line and paste the output when you have finished running Autoremove packages.

I credit me with more knowledge than I possess...could you supply me with the right commands - I'm real good at copy&paste :)

Open a terminal, type: lite-cleaner, hit enter

Thank you all for this fine app.
Can one add Chromium to the list?
Have some questions regarding left over items that will not delete. Is this by design? For example there are 44k worth of files from my apt cache, 4.0K from my thumbnail cache, and 16.0K from my Trash bin. Have been re selecting these and am being told the removal has been completed...only they're still there? Not quite sure what this means? Thanks, in advance.

"rick@rick-Dimension-2400:~$ lite-cleaner
du: cannot access ‘/home/rick/.cache/mozilla/’: No such file or directory"

This a True and verified statement Have removed Firefox in favor of Chromium because got tired of the freezes and having to hard reboot. Chromium does the same only the frequency is much less. Looks like my option here is to go back to apt-get/aptitude and to continue using Clamtk.

Think the fog is starting to lift somewhat...$Home/.cache/ doesn't exist in my OS. $ /home/rick/.cache/ does exist, only does not contain Firefox, Chromium, or Google-Chrome. These three are not housed in my /home/rick/.cache directory, they're housed somewhere else.
There is a  separate  /.mozilla  directory which houses two files...extensions and firefox. Copied both files to /home/rick/.cache, then created a new folder named "mozilla" and inserted the two files into the "mozilla" folder. This solved the terminal error for mozilla.
The problem now is there are Chromium and Chrome errors that still exist and they are not listed anywhere in the /. directory. If someone would be so kind as to lead me where to find where them...one might be able to solve the other two errors as well. Thanks in advance

Have cleared all the terminal errors and Lite Cleaner starts up much quicker from the terminal. Created a new Chromium folder in /.cache and inserted the contents of "chromium-browser" from the etc directory into it. Created google-chrome folder and inserted contents of "google" from opt directory into it. Had to create the new folder names to match otherwise the errors would not clear. Also, didn't move the folders from their respective directories just copied them to /.cache and dragged them into the new folders.

only using Chromium for my browser. So you're saying the errors need to exist in order for the cleaner to work? Had tried Chrome only it didn't work very well so deleted that one also. The cleaner removed the left over cache files from Chrome. Can always delete the new files and live with the errors?

Tried the terminal again...the errors are back...checked my /.cache file and my newly created files are gone? Just guessing here...going to live with the errors and leave well enough alone.

Hi Misko & Valtam,

This is really good, why, because it being devolved by people who really know LL, rather than just a Generic Cleaner/Tool.
This leads me to a little comaparative testing. I have used Bleach Bit, and personally never had any issues, but I may have been lucky.
On one of my Laptops with LL2 I use it to test & do things I'm not so sure about, if things work, I then do it on my main LL2 install.

I have been comparing Bleachbit to Lite Cleaner, Lite Cleaner always indicates "more" to be cleaned than Bleachbit.
When you Run Lite cleaner, then run Bleachbit, Bleachbit always finds more to clean, not much, on 3 recent runs, 12MB, 17MB & 5MB.

Below is a "Long List ~ 420 small files/5MB" of what Bleachbit finds extra, maybe this can be added to Lite Cleaners options..
It appears to be a mixture of mostly small language extensions/man files, I only use English, Old Log Files .old, some archive log files I'm not sure about.?

Great work.. Thanks for this... Dave

Wirezfree, thanks for that. Looks like a mixture of logs, man (how to) files and locales. We'll certainly keep extending this app to do more :)

I'd have to look into that, try either backticks or single quotes for now.

I've made progress with this.
I had to put list items with spaces and other chars into a "variable".
I've solved that with bash arrays.
The script now shows firefox, google-chrome and chromium on the list only if their cache directories exist.

13     This will process will purge Chrome of <b>$FFCACHESIZE</b> worth of files.

https://github.com/linuxlite/litecleaner/blob/master/usr/scripts/clean/emptytrash (https://github.com/linuxlite/litecleaner/blob/master/usr/scripts/clean/emptytrash)
13     This will process will empty your Trash bin.

This will remove kernels you no longer wish to use.

Be sure to select both the header and the image for each version of
the kernel that you wish to remove.

When you click on Yes....

64-bit here, and kernel cleaning worked perfectly. Nice job on this. One thing I do not think is necessary is the checking of large files. I have thousands (hundreds of thousands) of files larger than 50MB. That script would have taken a very very long time :) The cleaning of other items is much welcome however.

Lite Cleaner 1.0-0130 is now available. Run Install Updates to get it.

Changes:
  • "Clear thumbnail cache" changed to "Clean thumbnail cache" bug fixed.
     If thumbnails cache size is less than 100kB now it will display as 0k.
     If package cache size is less then 100kB are it will display as 0k.
     Added 'sort' to the kernel cleaner.
Nice job misko :)

Worked for me... not run it for a while... 315MB cleaned, nice :)

You could make a feature request here - https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin (https://github.com/gottcode/xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin) for the Whisker Menu.
Or if some code wizard could come along and suggest a sed command or something similar that replaces line 2 in /home/user/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-*.rc with just recent= A login in/log out would be required for it to take effect.

We will also include:

Code: [Select]
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.xfce.Panel /org/xfce/Panel org.xfce.Panel.Terminate boolean:true
Which will reload the panel and clear Recently Used without the need to logout/in.

Good job shaggytwodope and Valtam, and thank you for an idea bitsanpcs.

I would just add the check if there are Recent items in the whisker menu.
Something like this. :)

Code: [Select]
#!/bin/bash

# check if whisker menu has recent items
if [ -z "$(cat $HOME/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc | grep "^recent=" | cut -d '=' -f2)" ]; then
whisker_recent=(FALSE "Clean Whisker Recent" "Whisker" "Safe" "Whisker menu has no recent items" )
else
whisker_test=$(cat $HOME/.config/xfce4/panel/whiskermenu-1.rc | grep "^recent=" | cut -d '=' -f2 | sed 's/,/ /g'| wc -w)
whisker_recent=(FALSE "Clean Whisker Recent" "Whisker" "Safe" "You can currently remove $whisker_test recent items from your whisker menu" )
fi

Would it be possible to include a selective cooky cleaner in Lite Cleaner, as in the Windows program CCleaner?  That enables you to maintain a list of cookies that will be excluded from the cleaning.  I use Google Chrome as my browser - I can, of course, clear browsing data in Chrome, but it's a blunt instrument that just wipes all cookies.

Thanks Dave, I wasn't aware that cookie manager extensions existed.  I've installed the one that looked most promising, EditThisCookie, and I've read the descriptions of others, but they don't seem to provide the facility that CCleaner gives you.  With that, you can permanently protect cookies from selected domains then delete all others periodically.  EditThisCookie lets you "protect" individual cookies by making them read-only, but this only means means that the website that created the cookie will no longer be able to change it’s values.

I still think that a CCleaner type selective cookie cleaner would be a useful addition to Lite Cleaner, but I really don't know whether that is possible, or whether the amount of work involved would be justified.

Hi bobw,

I can only surmise it will not be a simple job.?
They would 1st have to identify all the cookies,
then have to develop a screen(gui) to show you them,
and then a method to select which to either keep or delete.
Not forgetting, what if you have 2 or more browsers.??

IMHO...
I think there are probably more beneficial core things to do.

I totally agree that this would be a great addition to a great program. If you have not used this feature on CCleaner, try it out.  It saves a lot of hassle and is very simple to use.  The cookies used are listed out and you just select them to keep (or let them be discarded normally in the clean).  CCleaner updates leave the selected "save" cookies in place when the update takes place as well.

A little late but after the work was done to add this to Lite Cleaner, I found that if you right click on an item in recently used in the Whisker Menu you have options which include "clear recently used." Clicking it clears all the items in recently used.

I think for those people using multiple partitions who are used to managing them saline-backup would be useful, it looks straight forward and efficient in use even to me.

Hello Coastie,

Thank You for the information, I was not aware of this. It will be good for cleaning the Whisker Menu on its own and means users have more than one option.

I still think it was a good decision on behalf of the team to add the functionality I requested to the Lite Cleaner, it means cleaning of the Whisker Menu can be undertaken as part of a multiple selection of cleaning tasks in a single GUI, which makes cleaning an efficient process.

I'll see what I can do. Something that people will associate with tweaks.

It's hard making icons because if I add too much details it will not look nice in 24x24 pixels or even 16x16 pixels.

If there is something that you'd like to see in Lite Tweaks please feel free to suggest it. Keep in mind that it should be a suggestion that is for the system as it is out-of-the-box eg. you wouldn't suggest that we provide a tool that purges Inkscape of all it's temp files.

New version available via Updates. Misko has done some amazing work on this, he's removed the need to call separate scripts. The whole program now runs from just 2 files. This has significantly reduced the size of the package to a mere 8.3kb whilst also removing the need to enter your password multiple times.

Give the man a hand, some of his best code to date!

If I run "sudo apt-get upgrade" does that give me the update?

Synaptic gives me a size of 25.6 kB for Lite Cleaner which I assume is Lite Tweaks.

I selected 3 of the early options and ran them but then I had to go to the menu to run Tweaks again to run other options, I was expecting to return to the tweak screen after it had run it's tasks.

Definatelly not a complaint just some feedback.

Go Misko go, well done that man!

New version available via Updates. Misko has done some amazing work on this, he's removed the need to call separate scripts. The whole program now runs from just 2 files. This has significantly reduced the size of the package to a mere 8.3kb whilst also removing the need to enter your password multiple times.

Give the man a hand, some of his best code to date!

Thanx for that Jerry & the Team , I like the new feature that removes the need to constantly enter pwd . A nice surprise this morning ( here ) when I did it  .

IIRC, unless something changed, typing 'sudo apt-get upgrade' on an LL system is NOT a good idea. I believe it has to do with the modifications that make LL distinctly different from Xubuntu
What does IIRC mean?

That's really bad news, Linux owes Ubuntu a lot for introducing folk to Linux but it's not Debian copatable any more.

This is an LTS but when the next Debian Stable is released shortly it will be 12 months ahead of the Ubuntu LTS, crazy.

I seem to remember something about firefox having something to do with this, why firefox ESR isn't the default browser I don't know, latest and greatest = always equals more problems, you can have a portable version of FX unzipped in a folder and have the latest version install and using the same profiles.

Best practice is to always follow the distros specific update method. In LL's case it's, Menu > Favorites > Install Updates.
Pardon an old fool, I guess I was on automatic, I looked in "System and Accessories", there's no fool quite like an old Welsh fool! gotta go and see where you parked it.

Categories=Utility;X-XFCE;X-Xfce-Toplevel;
Well I should have found it in accessories, why Accessories not Utilities?

I think the problems is that the file name is still the same as the template you used "exo-file-manager.desktop", I renamed it and stuck it in ~/.local and it appeared in the menu.

I'm off to install vokoscreen and relax making a video of lite-updater.

Hello!

'apt-get upgrade' was mentioned on here a while back. Some people used that command, and it updated them with the current Ubuntu kernel. That's one of the reasons the 'Install Updates' script is recommended.

IIRC is "If I remember correctly" (A BIG problem for me these days)...

Since you can check as many boxes that you want there is no need to go back to the main dialog, I think it was better before when Linux Tweaks just closed itself after completing the tasks.

In order for Lite Tweaks to evolve and take on more tools for people to use in the future, somewhat of a layout change is required to accommodate these future additions. There may be as many as 20 - 30 tools in the future so we need to be sensible about this and prepare now, so that people have enough time to get used to the layout.

Coming soon:

- Name column is alphabetical - with the list set to grow, people need to find tools easily. Names are listed concisely.
- New 'Task' column - If you just want to clean, you can sort to show all the Clean tools first.

We won't be doing that simply because some 'tweaks' aren't related to size. That's why we included size in the 'Description Column'. What we will do in the future is include a 'Total' of all the cleaning tasks combined.

If it is really bugging you (autoclose) you can edit lite-tweaks in /usr/bin/ and change line 276 from: while (true); do to # while (true); do
Of course you will have to do this everytime there is an update to the Lite Tweaks package :(

Not likely. The password is needed because some tasks require elevated user privileges.

No. Unfortunately zenity has many limitations currently.

Liking the update, it just keeps getting better and better.

I have another question or suggestion tho, is there a way or can it be added that when i use Lite Tweaks, it remembers what i have checked each time i use it or open it up? Lets say if i want to do a quick clean, i don't want to have to keep checking things and looking at the list each time i use it.

I think it would be nice if it will remember the settings i previously had checked.

I think some of this is being done automatically.  Recently I installed an SSD into my mother's laptop.  When I went to follow the "Enabling TRIM for your SSD" part of the Help Manual, it seemed like some gremlins beat me to it.  The noatime part was already done.  And if I recall correctly, I only had to edit the /etc/rc.local file and move the cron.weekly job.  The edited rc.local file covered every partition I had set for the drive, so this seems like something that Lite Tweaks could do for a drive running only Linux Lite, but it could become dicey for drives with a multi-boot setup.  But then, what do I know?

For the record, I'm still learning.  It seems if one does nothing, fstrim will run on a weekly basis.  And the Help Manual appears to instruct us to have it run at startup instead, while creating a log file listing what was trimmed for each partition.

Hey Jerry,


Am a bit confused regarding this tweak.


Would you please be so kind and give some background information?


I've learned that the system is managing and utilizing the memory as efficiently as possible. And it's not a bad sign that the physical memory is utilized as much as possible to increase access speed (referring to the difference between used and active memory -> vmstat -s). The only way that makes sense to influence the memory usage as a user and avoid undesired swappping is basically to close applications and stop unnecessary services and use a lightweight (desktop) system itself, to reduce the load on the system by being mindful of how many applications are run in parallel.


Here two links reflecting what I knew so far:
http://serverfault.com/questions/597115/why-drop-caches-in-linux

I didn't realize until recently, just how big SystemD logs were, and how quickly they grow in Series 4.x

Lite Tweaks to the rescue!

Coming in 4.8

What about if to make it easier to set the swap size and the swappiness value?

To risky for those who have no idea what those are, ok for advanced users.

With the swap file, perhaps it could be tempting to get rid of it, in order to retrieve back some hard drive space - which probably would end up being a faulty decision, unless infinite RAM - but with the swappiness, it is harder to handicap the system, if to keep the values around moderate.

EDIT:

Perhaps you could also allow there to choose whether the system by default should work in one-word-defined performance or powersaving mode.

People already have that option with the new 4.6 feature, xfce4-cpufreq-plugin.

Fair enough, I guess that plugin is as good as an option in the LiteTweaks, at the end of the day.

We have to be extremely selective of what we load at start up. 3mb here, 15mb there and before you know it, we've gone from Linux Lite to Linux Heavy. Only the absolute necessities get loaded into memory at boot, nothing more.

Understood. Speaking of panel utilities loaded at start, this could be further minimized. For example, the utility allowing to switch between different desktop views or different monitors. It could bring more confusion than benefit. If you know what it is and know how to use it, probably you can also just find it and enable it yourself in the system, if needed. If you do not know what it is and what did just happen in case all your desktop icons suddenly disappeared, it means that would be much better for you the utility was not there present altogether. One type of user is likely to help oneself out, the other one, is going to blame the OS for appearances of instability. That the other, likewise OS-es have similar utility loaded at start, does not mean it is the most reasonable way to go. Linux is a great community but unnecessarily an ecosystem in particular most welcoming to the laymen. Stereotype telling Linux is not for the laymen, is not an excuse. Linux wants to be for the laymen. Linux wants a fair share of the home user market. Linux wants to be considered a valid piece of the low level industry. My question is then, why does it not go the way allowing to become thus?

To summarize, there are two types of users. Those with enough of know-how and those without any sufficient know-how. Those with the know-how will help themselves out, perhaps with only little assistance, therefore, the system should be defaulted to the status of friendliness aimed at the layman, discarding any potentially misleading, tricky or quirky utilities, in particular those put in clear sight. This is also a strategy to minimize the amount of user interface related problems and support requests.

Real nice, Thanks Jerry!
This will come in handy when needed. ;)

Oh, is this for all Linux Lite active versions? o.O

Each Lite application is only developed for the latest Series. Previous Series get security and bug fixes only.
