Sudo is not always enough (for example, autofs or networked filesystems). See also bug #1035843 .
But even when you fix that manually you run into bug #594674 . -- 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/595281 Title: Ubuntu/Nautilus should create missing .Trash-$USER Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus I have a second partition mounted at /data. If I move a file to the trash on this partition Nautilus warns me that the file can't be move to the trash and will be deleted instead. To fix it I only had to create /data/.Trash-$USER and sudo chown me:me /data/.Trash-$USER and Nautilus started using the trash on this partition immediately. I think that Ubuntu/Nautilus should create the .Trash-$USER if required/during setup. In fact it does with USB sticks, SD cards, etc. which is not to anyones liking (see bug 12893 ) (Maybe there is the need to request sudo permission from the user depending on the mount point/owner of the partition) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/595281/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
