Brian, The problem is still there in Ubuntu 7.10.
I have files on /home2/username/... where /home2 is a separate disk. If I select one of these file in Nautilus and then select the context menu "move to trash", I get the popup message "Cannot move to trash, do you want to delete immediately?". Adding the directory /home2/.Trash-username seems to fix the problem. (as root, create this folder and make username the owner and set protection to username = all, group and other = none) Since a user running Nautilus does not normally have the privilege to add a new directory under a directory owned by root (/home2 in this case), there may not be a clean solution for this. However, the error message could do more to explain what is wrong rather than just saying "Cannot..." and leaving most users clueless. Alternative: add the missing .Trash directory at /home2/unsername/.Trash Alternative: use the normal trash at /home/username/.Trash if no trash directory is available on the same disk as the file being moved. regards Brian Murray wrote: > Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make > Ubuntu better.
