Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
I have nautilus-1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2
Steps to reproduce:
Copy directory with some subdirectories from CD to home directory and delete it
to trash.
Try to empty trash — and you'll get message "Error while deleting file:
Permission denied".
Try to empty trash with gnome applet menu (right-click on the trash icon in the
taskbar gives menu and "Empty trash" is one of its items) and it'll show you
progress-bar and will finish cleanup without any error but files will be left
in the trash.
If you try to change permissions for the folder inside of trash, you get error
message "the action is not supported by the driver".
Possible workaround is to run `chmod -R u+w
~/.local/share/Trash/files/*`.
