Human script: 1. Open a terminal
# Part 1: create empty directory in $HOME, and mount different file system to it. # "Different filesystem" will exist entirely in RAM, and will take at most 5M. $ cd ~ $ mkdir tmp_tester $ sudo mount -t tmpfs -o size=5M,uid=1000,gid=1000 trash_test tmp_tester # Part 2: create 512K file in new file system $ cd tmp_tester $ dd if=/dev/zero of=./aFile bs=512K count=1 # Part 3: recreate behavior, note new Trash area not accessible via GUI $ ls -lA # list files, including hidden stuffs. Note lack of .Trash-1000/ directory. $ gnome-open . # should open a window viewing the contents of this directory [ ... remove the file by striking delete on your keyboard ... ] [ *** Where did the file go? It's still there, the bytes are still tied up, but you can't "empty" this file system's trash.*** ] [ ... either close the window or otherwise return to the terminal ... ] $ ls -lA # Note that .Trash-1000/ now exists. In it you find the file you removed via the GUI. Thus, it's possible to finally remove the file, but not via the GUI. -- trash file systems not unified https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/351771 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
