Public bug reported: Trying to delete files with nautilus from a vfat partition "fails". Well, the file can be deleted OK, but it seems gvfs can't send the file to the trashcan, so only permanent delete is available. Furthermore, the name of the file appears in little boxes, similar to viewing a chinese site using Latin-1 encoding (will attach screenshot).
Distro: Hardy up to date (17-february 2008) Steps to reproduce: Copy a file to an vfat partition. Select it and delete using nautilus. A message error will appear: "Can't move file to trashcan. Do you want to delete it inmediately?" "File <<little-boxes>>cannot be moved to trashcan" Versions: Nautilus 1:2.21.91-0ubuntu2 gvfs 0.1.7-0ubuntu4 /etc/fstab for the vfat partition: UUID=9445-A956 /fat32 vfat defaults,utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [hardy] Cannot send files to thrascan from a vfat partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
