I forgot to mention that I've made spacefm the default file manager of my system.
Double-clicking the trash icon in the desktop screen and then choosing a file manager to open it results in /home/user being shown, not the trash directory, regardless if I choose thunar or spacefm. Please also see the following output: *kaye@laptop:~$ sudo dpkg -l "gvfs*"[sudo] password for kaye: Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)||/ Name Version Architecture Description+++-===============-============-============-==================================ii gvfs:amd64 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - GIOun gvfs-backends <none> <none> (no description available)ii gvfs-common 1.38.1-5 all userspace virtual filesystem - comii gvfs-daemons 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - serii gvfs-libs:amd64 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - prilines 1-10/10 (END)...skipping...Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)||/ Name Version Architecture Description+++-===============-============-============-================================================ii gvfs:amd64 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - GIO moduleun gvfs-backends <none> <none> (no description available)ii gvfs-common 1.38.1-5 all userspace virtual filesystem - common data filesii gvfs-daemons 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - serversii gvfs-libs:amd64 1.38.1-5 amd64 userspace virtual filesystem - private libraries* Thank you!
