Stuck on "Cleaning up DNS cache"

[0xCarnival]

It stuck on "Cleaning up DNS cache"

After running "mac-cleanup" from the terminal, it first cleans "homebrew", and then it stucks on "Cleaning up DNS cache".

Hey 👋🏻
Can you specify the version it occurred to you in?

Hey 👋🏻 Can you specify the version it occurred to you in?

I reinstalled it, so I believe it is the latest version.

DNS cleaning doesn't work in script:

I can support @0xCarnival's problem, for me also it is stuck at DNS cleaning.
I used the commands of the script manually and they are working without issue, something is not letting the python code move on..

Workaround:

1. Finder -> "Go to Folder.." open following path:
   "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/mac-cleanup-py/3.0.4/libexec/lib/python3.10/site-packages/mac_cleanup"
2. Go into the file "default_modules.py"
3. Go to line 409
4. Comment out lines 412 and 413:
   unit.add(Command("sudo dscacheutil -flushcache"))
   unit.add(Command("sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"))

Just add a # in front of those two lines.

I know the script is not cleaning the DNS-Cache now but it executes fine after that.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried doing this and it didn't work. Just to make sure, you are suggesting this quick fix for now: def dns_cache(): with clc as unit: unit.message("Cleaning up DNS cache") #unit.add(Command("sudo dscacheutil -flushcache")) #unit.add(Command("sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder")) It stucks on: ⠋ Cleaning up DNS cache ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0% -:--:-- 0:00:00⠴ Cleaning up DNS cache ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0% -:--:-- 0:02:03

You have to close all terminals after editing, maybe even restart for all terminal sessions to restart. It didn't work for me either at first but after closing all terminals (or restarting) it should work fine.

Unfortunately, I tried doing that, restarting, and it is still stuck in the DNS part.

@0xCarnival alright then I'm almost out of ideas.

The only idea I have left is that you eventually have multiple versions installed. Like multiple homebrew versions or homebrew and PIP etc.

For example you installed using PIP and homebrew but the PIP-one is executed but the homebrew one is modified (check that at least).

[0xCarnival]

Hey Kim, All right, I did that. I in fact deleted both, and did a fresh homebrew install. Now it gets stuck at: ⠋ Purging inactive memory ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0% -:--:-- 0:00:00⠋ Purging inactive memory ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0% -:--:-- 0:19:19

@0xCarnival here I can just agree this freezes too. I can use the command in terminal but with the tool it doesn't work.

You have to comment this out too (Line 419), those are things which need bugfixes.. maybe I find a way to do that.

@ALL

Just use the configure option -c to disable the two things instead of changing the code.. I forgot that we can do that.

So just do mac-cleanup-py -c and deselect memory and DNS and it should run trough.

[0xCarnival]

That worked, thank you!
