graysky2 / profile-cleaner Goto Github PK

QupZilla is now known as Falkon: https://davidrosca.blogspot.it/2018/02/falkon-300-released.html

The profile is in ~/.config/falkon/ instead of ~/.config/qupzilla/.

Hi,

My profile directory contains a space. When running profile-cleaner, I get the following output:

% profile-cleaner f
profile-cleaner v1.90

Cleaning profile for firefox
find: 9zbsqnek.Default': No such file or directory find:User': No such file or directory
Cleaning permissions.sqlite done -0 Mbytes
Cleaning downloads.sqlite done -0 Mbytes
Cleaning formhistory.sqlite done -0 Mbytes
^C
Profile(s) for firefox reduced by 0 Mbytes.

This is what I get:

yakir@localhost ~ $ profile-cleaner f
profile-cleaner v2.30

 Profile(s) for firefox reduced by 22.93 Mbytes.

({{PROFILE_ID}} == my profile id)

And when I press this command again I don't get this error (just when my Firefox open & close).

BTW - I use with your other tool as profile-sync-daemon.

doc/pc.1 says:
"." Text automatically generated by txt2man"

Is the source text for this available?

hi i also wrote a script to do basically this same thing but system wide. To avoid needing two files, you can do this

function _worker() {
    your cleaning stuff here
}

export -f _worker

find ${path} -maxdepth 1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -I{} bash -c "_worker {}"

I compiled the latest git master, but it's not working. It says "I require bc but it's not installed. Aborting."

But bc is correctly installed in /usr/bin

Any idea how to figure out what's wrong here? :)

The ppa has no build for 16.10. I built from source but it would be nice to have it updated.

based on FF

Hi!

Gentoo install instructions currently read:

layman -a laurentb
emerge profile-cleaner

profile-cleaner is available in the Gentoo main repository by now, i.e. the laurentb overlay is no longer needed for this very task.
With some extra polishing on top, this is what I recommend for 2017-05 Gentoo instructions:

sudo emerge -av app-admin/profile-cleaner

Thanks and best

Sebastian

Support to clean Firefox Nightly would be appreciated!

Support for Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com
Thanks

Hi,
It looks like you may have had a build system in place to build DEBs or RPMs for Debian/Ubuntu/Redhat/CentOS in the past - is there code that could be added to the main repo to make this compatible with the packaging systems for these distros, in addition to the source packages/build instructions for Arch/Gentoo/etc ?!
I'm pretty sure this would be a useful package to have available for the Ubuntu/Debian ecosystem once again, as the old Launchpad project page/PPA is now considerable out-of-date!
Cheers,
veremitz/Michael.

Newsbeuter has been abandoned by upstream and has been forked as Newsboat: https://github.com/akrennmair/newsbeuter/blob/7c981f460d6c8c3690f140cbb279c277dc8f55fe/README.md

The profile is in ~/.local/share/newsboat instead of ~/.local/share/newsbeuter.

p.s.: Newsboat is maintaing compatibility with the original sqlite3 schemas from Newsbeuter

Debian did not like the use of postinst script;
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1034168#12

so I had to remove it.
Maybe put the content into the man page?

On my system profile-cleaner doesn't detect Tor Browser's profile:

$ profile-cleaner to
profile-cleaner v2.35

Error: no profile directory for torbrowser found.

The following command works instead:

$ profile-cleaner p ~/.mozilla/torbrowser
profile-cleaner v2.35

 Cleaning places.sqlite                        done  -0 Mbytes
 Cleaning content-prefs.sqlite                 done  -0 Mbytes
 Cleaning cookies.sqlite                       done  -0 Mbytes
 Cleaning webappsstore.sqlite                  done  -0 Mbytes

 Profile(s) for paths reduced by 0 Mbytes.

My distribution is Gentoo Linux.

Packages:

• www-client/torbrowser-45.4.0_p605 (from the torbrowser overlay)
• app-admin/profile-cleaner-2.35 (from the laurentb overlay)

Hi! Thanks for adding Brave support, but paths are kinda wrong. Also, there are more branches of Brave to keep in mind.
I just created this patch to solve this issue.

Thanks!

Since official Firefox flatpak build available now is it possible to add support for optimizing Firefox flatpak version and maybe more flatpak browsers in future?

Firefox flatpak profile usually stored in this directory:

~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/firefox

Hi.

Updating the repository generates an error (apt-get update):
In: GPG Error: http://ppa.launchpad.net quantal Release: The following signatures could not be verified due to lack of public key: NO_PUBKEY C1C5C63BF0E0B4E7

Just a typo / copy-paster-error

It says "sudo apt-get install profile-cleaner" for Linux Minut but it should be "sudo apt-get install profile-cleaner" like for Ubuntu.
