[Bug 297993] Re: Cannot clear the ~/Private/.Trash-xxxx

 

The GVFS portion is reported here already as launchpad bug 106621. It
seems to be a problem in the gvfsd-trash backend, with us sometimes not
catching new volumes being mounted and thusly monitoring the new trash
locations on the new volumes and merging in the trashed files.

Need to ping Ryan Lortie (desrt) and see what the status of his trash
backend rewrite is, which will hopefully not have this problem.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ecryptfs-utils

Intrepid Ibex - last updated
Kernel 2.6.27-7-generic
Gnome-Desktop 2.24

Using ecryptfs-utils - all working fine (known bugs excluded), but:

If you want to delete a file in the folder ~/Private via Nautilus-Menu-Option -> "Move to Trash", the file to be deleted will be moved to the folder ~/Private/.Trash-xxxx into the relevant sub-folders respectivily. And there they are gathered forever. You can't delete them via Desktop-Trash-Icon (it's empty!!)

Using a Terminal and typing -> "rm -f filename" inside the folder ~/Private the file will be deleted finally. Or using the Nautilus-Menu-Option "cut" and "paste" outside ~/Private, to delete them there, is working.

Notice: Also tested with jaunty - same error.
