[Bug 872841] Re: Attempting to view Trash in Nautilus gives "The folder contents could not be displayed" ..."Operation not supported"

 

(Delay in response: this clean installation of 11.10 with no exotic
installs melted down, so that I could only log in on tty!  I have just
reinstalled 11.10 from scratch, clean.  The bug reported here recurred.)

Ah, yes, there's a key caveat. Logged in locally, nautilus behaves okay.
I mostly log in remotely from a machine (both with Internet addresses)
right next to it. When logged in over ssh -X, nautilus comes up fine but
fails when asked to show Trash or Computer.

In fact, once I have launched nautilus locally ONCE, it seems to work
okay remotely, too. So that means to reproduce this I might need to
reinstall. Weird.  But still a problem for servers which may never get a
local login.

Title:
  Attempting to view Trash in Nautilus gives "The folder contents could
  not be displayed" ..."Operation not supported"

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Latest update of 11.10. I launch a Nautilus window. I click on Trash
  in the left panel. A popup tells me "The folder contents could not be
  displayed."  "Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash":
  Operation not supported"

  What should happen... is that Trash, empty or full, should be
  displayed. Or a more meaningful error should be given if something's
  wrong.
