I was unable to recreate this in 9.04. However, I was able to add folders owned by me, containing files and folders owned by root (700, actually with anything xx0) to the trash, and then empty the trash.
Is this supposed to happen anyway? It doesn't seem logical that a user should be able to delete files and folders owned and only accessible to root. Can anyone else confirm on 8.04? Try testing with following command: cd mkdir test sudo mkdir test/testing sudo chmod 700 test/testing Then add to trash, and then attempt to empty trash. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Assignee: dvlchd3 (dan-buhrman) => (unassigned) -- directories in trash cannot delete had trouble copying them and put them in trach https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486048 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
