If Stacer’s clean-up tool doesn’t meet your needs, take a look at Bleachbit (www.bleachbit. org) instead. This dedicated cleaning tool goes a lot further and deeper than Stacer to provide you with more ways to clean out drive space.
Stacer’s a great tool for Ubuntu desktop, but what if you’re running Ubuntu Server on a headless machine? While you can ssh in via a Terminal shell, by installing a plugin called Cockpit you can access much of Stacer’s tools within any web browser on your local network. This method will provide you with a more user-friendly GUI.
You can run multiple instances of Stacer at the same time – not because there’s any advantage in doing so, but because you’ve configured it so closing it sends it to the menu bar. Just keep a eye on the number of Stacer icons appearing in the bar!
If you’re unable to get any joy with Stacer’s beta search tool, then all is not lost. We’ve tracked down an alternative that is easily the equal of Stacer’s tool with the added advantage that it actually works. FSearch (https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch) is the tool in question, offering all of Stacer’s features with a focus on speed.
If you’re running Stacer on a high-definition display, you may get frustrated with problems displaying the text and icons correctly. The community is investigating a fix – see https:// github.com/ oguzhaninan/ Stacer/ issues/440 for details.
