Ubuntu Cleaner crashed when selecting Personal item - Ubuntu 24.04

[Max-1960]

I work on Ubuntu 24.04 and Ubuntu Cleaner 1.1.4 .

I installed Ubuntu Cleaner with this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gerardpuig/ppa -y sudo apt update sudo apt install ubuntu-cleaner

Every time I activate Ubuntu-Cleaner it crashes and doesn't allow me to use any functions. What can I do ?

Thanks

[gerardpuig]

could you execute it from the terminal and paste the output? thanks

Thank you for your response. What is the exact command to execute in terminal? Are there any particular options I could write?

In any case I suppose that after the command the menu appears in graphical form and everything stops there.

But it is correct to follow your advice.

I execute this cmd from the: ubuntu-cleaner

This is output:

/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ubuntucleaner/settings/debug.py:7: PyGIWarning: Notify was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded. from gi.repository import Gdk, Gtk, Notify /usr/bin/ubuntu-cleaner:70: DeprecationWarning: Gdk.threads_init is deprecated Gdk.threads_init() /usr/bin/ubuntu-cleaner:71: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Since version 3.11, calling threads_init is no longer needed. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/Threading GObject.threads_init() [ModuleLoader][ERROR] Module import error: No module named 'distutils' (init.py:67)

Then the "Computer Janitor" screen appears and I can't mark any options.

Then close the windows of the "Computer Janitor" and appears on terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ubuntucleaner/janitor/init.py", line 447, in on_janitor_check_button_toggled self._auto_scan_cruft(iter, checked) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ubuntucleaner/janitor/init.py", line 538, in _auto_scan_cruft self.do_scan_task() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ubuntucleaner/janitor/init.py", line 544, in do_scan_task plugin.set_property('scan_finished', False) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'set_property'

What can I do ?

Thanks

Ah I see, this package got deprecated in python3.12 which is the version that runs by default in Ubuntu 24.04 Could you install the following package?

apt install python3-distutils-extra

After that it should work fine

I Have installed python3-distutils-extra . Now ubuntu cleaner start up without error, However, when I open the window, I cannot select the various options. I have to insist several times with the various keys or close and start the task again, to finally be able to use it.

I am an old user of Ubuntu Cleaner and on Ubuntu 18.04 everything was very smooth and without any problems.

Can you help me ?

Hi, it is weird that works randomly...I will have to test it thoroughly with ubuntu 24.04, with new python version it may require some adjustments

[Max-1960]

Thanks for the time you dedicated to me. I'm waiting for a new version of 'ubuntu cleaner'. Okay? It's a great application for all Ubuntu users ! Good work and thanks again
