Confirmed in gutsy. My recommended fix is that when you choose to empty the trash, nautilus should do either this: if [ `rm -fr ~/.Trash/*` != "" ] then chmod +w ~/.Trash/ if [ `rm -fr ~/.Trash/*` != "" ] then #Do the "This file could not be deleted" thing fi fi
Or: chmod +w ~/.Trash/ if [ `rm -fr ~/.Trash/*` != "" ] then #Do the "This file could not be deleted" thing fi The former would be faster if most files are writable (probably the case), but the latter would be would be faster if most of the files are not writable. -- Wastebasket fails with read only directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/7560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
