trash:/// not incorporating .Trash files on external volume

nbtrap · 2011-12-26 16:25:42

This is driving me nuts. All of a sudden, within the last couple of days, I discovered that files in the .Trash-* folders on removable media are not seen by trash:///. I feel like I have tried everything to fix this. I have gvfs installed of course, and I'm running xfce and thunar, but I tried lxde with pcmanfm and the problem persists. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling just about everything, I tried deleting configuration files etc. Nothing seems to work.

Do you mean it worked previously and stopped working?

Same here using OpenBox with pcmanfm, gvfs is installed also.
I've just been doing sudo rm -rf .Tra* the past week or so, figured it was just a local problem, guess not.

Yes. Stopped working very recently, within the last couple of days at most.

I suspect this has something to do with the recent upgrade to filesystem-2011.12-2

I've succeeded in getting trash functionality to work for fleeting moments after uninstalling and reinstalling large groups of packages, but the functionality never stays very long--if I log out of X and log back in, the problem persists again. Very strange. I can't seem to narrow down where the problem lies.

Maybe a similar behaviour I noticed helps narrowing it down - if I log into my user account (via slim), mount my USB device in Thunar and try to delete something, I won't find it in my trashcan. If I log out and back in without unmounting the device in Thunar, deleted files appear in trash:/// and I have full functionality until I remount the device.

Yes, that's my report. There's also a report on gnome's bugzilla (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662946) seemingly for the same issue.

I've recently switched to KDE Plasma and Dolphin, which does not carry this problem.
