Can anyone help me with this new bleachbit message?

Hello. This is my first time asking a question.
When I run bleachbit I get this message:

[gazelle-1@gazelle-1 ~]$ sudo bleachbit && bleachbit
[sudo] password for gazelle-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/bleachbit/GUI.py”, line 1096, in on_show
if Windows.splash_thread.is_alive():
NameError: name ‘Windows’ is not defined
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/share/bleachbit/GUI.py”, line 1096, in on_show
if Windows.splash_thread.is_alive():
NameError: name ‘Windows’ is not defined
Bus error (core dumped)
[gazelle-1@gazelle-1 ~]$

What do I do?

Not running Bleachbit with sudo. I get this as well:

$ bleachbit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/bleachbit/GUI.py", line 1096, in on_show
    if Windows.splash_thread.is_alive():
NameError: name 'Windows' is not defined

But the app opens and works as it should.

Thank you. Obviously this is something I’ll have to live with.

My advice is: do not use bleachbit.

The bug NameError: name ‘Windows’ is not defined is in BleachBit beta 4.4.1, so you can downgrade to BleachBit 4.4.0 stable, wait for the next release, ignore it, apply this patch , or get the latest version from Git

Thank you. I’ll live with this for the moment and will wait for the next release which I hope will fix it. It hasn’t caused any problems.
