[Bug 1449112] [NEW] can't move files to trash without any owner/permission issues

 

Public bug reported:

This is something that wouldn't happen before upgrading from Ubuntu
14.10 / Nautilus 3.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 / Nautilus 3.14:

I have a proper HOME partition and most User folders there (Documents,
Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos) are merely SYMLINKS to folders with
the same names in a DATA partition which is mounted automatically at
startup with proper options in fstab.

Now -- unlike before -- when I attempt to delete an item in one of these
folders after I open it via the SYMLINK I get the message "... can't be
put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?" although it is
immediately moved to the Trash after I open the folder via the Data
partition in the sidebar. (Naturally there are no such problems with
items in other (real) items in my Home folder.

Nautilus now seems confused about / not knowing where to move the item
in question; to the Trash folder in the Home partition (symlink
location) or the Data partition (real item location).

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
