BleachBit occupies the entire free disk space when cleaning.
Kubuntu Jaunty
KDE4.3.1
2 GB RAM
Free Space / root 5.6 GB
/ Home 5 GB
BleachBit 0.6.5beta

When I start cleaning in both normal and privileged user, BleachBit freezes during cleaning and after a while get a message informing the operating system there is no free space and the system runs out of disk resources to work and all begins to fail, including the graphical user interface, when I check the free disk space shows 0 GB, so I have to force reboot because nothing in the system works.

Sorry for the bad english.

When you enable the "free disk space" cleaning option under "system," filling the disk is normal. That's how it wipes the free disk space. However, freezing the system is of course not normal. Normally the free disk space slowly approaches 0 bytes free, but once it reaches 100% full, the large file is quickly deleted.

Please open a terminal, type these two commands, and paste the output in a reply:

mount
cat /etc/fstab

Meanwhile, you may try two things. First, disable the "free disk space" option if you don't use it. Second, try running BleachBit in the terminal. When it runs in a terminal, it prints extra information to the console. Some of this information may be useful for troubleshooting.

Your English is fine :)
