I've never upgraded my KDE in place; I guess that can be done harmlessly; I usually use Muon for almost everything, and it's not there yet ... (lack of experience here speaking).An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles Bukowski

I do nearly all my package management from the console. To update to KDE 4.14.1 just add the Kubuntu Backports PPA.
Doing so from the console is easy.
Code:sudo add-apt-repository [B]ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports[/B]
Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I can't answer that. Likely. Muon Package Manager is good, but apt from the console is more informative. One of Muon Package Managers 'faults' is that it doesn't integrate (as well) the checking of package conflicts apt does from the console. I think Muon Package Manager uses apt-get update instead of apt-get dist-upgrade.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

Yes, Bleachbit--as user and as admin--both appear in the K-Menu. I only ran it from Konsole to see any messages that might appear--and messages did appear for me!An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles Bukowski

This problem occurs for me in 14.04. It runs correctly in 12.04.
That said, I ran Bleachbit as user in 12.04 and did get the same message as I get in 14.04 running as user, as posted in #15 above:
~$ bleachbit
info: starting BleachBit version 1.2
/usr/share/bleachbit/Unix.py:44: ImportWarning: Not importing directory '/usr/share/gnome': missing __init__.py
import gnome.vfs
And then ... it runs fine as user.
(Of course, running kdesudo bleachbit in 12.04 gives no problems.)
I do notice the Bleachbit version in 12.04: 1.2; whereas in 14.04 it is 1.4.
Maybe I can get 1.2 in 14.04, and will check into that. (Posting from 12.04 at the moment.)An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles Bukowski

And, in 14.04, there's the same problem with an even older version (offered through Muon), version 1.1.
What a puzzle for a non-programmer!
Anyone else running:
Kubuntu 14.04
32-bit
KDE 4.13.3
and testing Bleachbit 1.1, 1.2, or 1.4?Last edited by Qqmike; Oct 05, 2014, 08:12 PM.An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. Charles Bukowski

You said this is a new install of 14.04. Did you keep your user /home directory from 12.04? If 'yes', and you installed Bleachbit for 14.04, the existing .config/bleachbit/bleachbit.ini file wasn't overwritten.Windows no longer obstructs my view.
