OK I guess this problem has something to do with mac4lin project (the thing that makes ubuntu look like a mac). I realized i had this problem after I installed that theme. It has this .sh file that automates everything, maybe that was the problem,.
One more weird thing, when gnome-do works in docky mode,the trash app on the dock works OK. But rest is still broken. I am updating my steps for reproducing the error, and also attaching the .sh file for installing mac theme to ubuntu: 0-Download mac4lin theme package for ubuntu from" http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=204373&filename=Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC1.tar.gz&a=17712471 " and run the .sh file to install it Then proceed as follows to test trash: 1-Delete an item , (use delete key, drag and drop an item into a trash icon-desktop-applet..etc, or drag and drop the item into an open trash:/// folder ; does not matter) 2- Item disappears 3-But the trash folder still (trash:///) looks empty 4-Search for the deleted item via Places---->Search from the menu 5-You find the item in ~/.local/share/Trash/files (not surprisingly) 6-Check the specified folder using Nautilus, but it looks empty 7-Check it using Terminal, it is not empty. Also Nautilus itself tells you that the folder is not zero bytes, it is 300 mbs(I checked the folder for hidden items as well) 8-Gnome-do's trash app works fine in docky mode ** Attachment added: "Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25277824/Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh -- Trash always empty. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/34247 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
