I'm using Ubuntu Feisty (7.04). A few days ago, I installed Drupal (which is a CMS) for testing purposes. After my tests, I sent the folder to the trash. When emptying the trash today and seeing that it didn't delete all the files, I opened it and selected "empty trash" from Nautilus but it wouldn't work because some files couldn't be removed (that's where I discovered that I got a ignore/abort message when emptying trash with Nautilus and not with the applet menu).
After looking in the remaining files, I saw that a drupal subfolder ("css") had a locked emblem on its icon and, thinking it was just a permissions issue, discovered that its owner was in fact "nobody". I deleted it as root from a terminal. I don't really know how you can reproduce this problem, but it seems that you can send a file that's not yours in the trash, provided that it's inside a directory that's yours. -- Trash applet : no warning when a file can't be deleted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/116564 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gnome-applets in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
