I use operating system Ubuntu 10.04
every time I use my BB always reports these errors

E: Could not open lock file / var / cache / apt / archives / lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Could not open lock file / var / lib / dpkg / lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/ home / franz / .cache / totem / plugins / bbc'
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/ home / franz / .cache / totem / plugins'
[Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/ home / franz / .cache / wallpaper'
[Errno 39] Directory not empty: '/ home / franz / .cache / totems'

how do I fix them?
thanks

Look for the menu shortcut "BleachBit as Administrator" which runs BleachBit as sudo/gksu to give you root permissions. These permissions are necessary for certain operations (especially APT).

The other files /home/franz/.cache may be caused because you used sudo to run totem? You can open a terminal and try this (assuming you want to delete all your cache)

sudo rm -rf ~/.cache

I have not heard back from you, nor have I been able to reproduce the "directory is not empty." This error message is basically harmless, so now the error is ignored. Please test BleachBit 0.9.3 beta which has this change
