Interestingly, after upgrading to 16.04; I can now move files to Trash any where and any way EXCEPT ONLY the 1st level of a directory symlinked in my Home folder!!!
✔ /home/$USER/File.txt ✘ /home/$USER/Documents/File.txt ✔ /home/$USER/Documents/Archives/File.txt ✔ /media/$USER/Data/File.txt ✔ /media/$USER/Data/Documents/File.txt ✔ /media/$USER/Data/Documents/Archive/File.txt My new Nautilus is smarter than before, and puts items deleted under sub-directories of "/home/$USER/Documents/" into the Trash folder of "/media/$USER/Data" partition, but not smart enough to understand that items deleted under "/home/$USER/Documents/" directly should also go into the same Trash??? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1449112 Title: can't move files to trash without any owner/permission issues Status in Nautilus: Unknown Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: This is something that wouldn't happen before upgrading from Ubuntu 14.10 / Nautilus 3.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 / Nautilus 3.14: I have a proper HOME partition and most User folders there (Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos) are merely SYMLINKS to folders with the same names in a DATA partition which is mounted automatically at startup with proper options in fstab. Now -- unlike before -- when I attempt to delete an item in one of these folders after I open it via the SYMLINK I get the message "... can't be put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?" although it is immediately moved to the Trash after I open the folder via the Data partition in the sidebar. (Naturally there are no such problems with items in other (real) items in my Home folder. Nautilus now seems confused about / not knowing where to move the item in question; to the Trash folder in the Home partition (symlink location) or the Data partition (real item location).
