I have equal experience of Daniel Silverstone in the Ubuntu 8.04 distribution:
an directory with read-only permission can moved in the trash but can't removed from the trash. Then i have execute "sudo chmod -R +w .local/share/trash/files/*" from my home At this point the trash can be emptied. i think that nautilus must change the permission to write mode of all objects trashed and annotate the original permission in the object's info files in ~home/.local/share/Trash/info/ directory and reassign original permission when a trashed object are "un-trushed" with an appropriate button that do not exist for now. excuse me my english. -- Wastebasket fails with read only directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/7560 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
