Help with running BleachBit in Centos 6.6 server
Hello,
I sucessfully installed python in my KVM CentOS 6.6 server and downloaded and installed BleachBit1.6-1.1. Below you can see the steps I performed. However, when I try to run BleachBit it will not do it and display the error message "RuntimeError: could not open display". Any advice on how to solve this is welcome!
Thanks

1. Install Python: sudo yum install pygtk2 python-simplejson
2. Install BleachBit:
wget katana.oooninja.com/bleachbit/sf/bleachbit-1.6-1.1.centosCentOS-6.noarch.rpm
and
sudo yum install bleachbit-1.6-1.1.centosCentOS-6.noarch.rpm
root@server [~]# bleachbit

Do you want to use the GUI or the command line interface? If you are not using X and do not wish to use the GUI, pass command line arguments. (See the link for details.)

Hi Andrew
Hi Andrew
Many thanks. I would prefer using the GUI, as I am new to BleachBit. Please, which command should I use to open the GUI in this first install? And after this first setup, if I want to call the GUI again, the command is the same?

That is the right command to launch the GUI, but the error indicates there is no X server (GUI environment).
Do other GUI programs (for example, gedit) work?

Hi Andrew,
Hi Andrew,
I do not have gedit installed in my server. I just installed bleachbit into another server, Python + Bleachbit install went ok, but GUI interface will not open, RuntimeError: could not open display.
I am using Putty as a SFTP client.
Any advice/testing routine is welcome!
