Binary package hint: gnome
This applies to Ubuntu 6.06, 6.10, and 7.04 (and any Gnome desktop?).
If a user owns files in a partition not mounted at /home, files deleted
in Nautilus will not go into trash, but will be immediately deleted.
Nautilus warns about this.
My case: partition mounted at /home2 with user files in /home2/userxxx
(/home2 owned by root, /home2/userxxx owned by userxxx)
The problem is easy to fix manually:
Add directory /home2/.Trash-userxxx owned by userxxx. Nautilus will now work
normally.
This is done automatically for user root, but not for other users.
Perhaps this is a permissions issue that is not trivial to fix (requires
root permissions to create /home2/.Trash-userxxx).
Nautilus should put the .Trash folder where it can
(/home2/userxxx/.Trash), or it should use the normal trash at
/home/userxxx/.Trash
