Hello,
It can happen - for example, while building, that some permissions
change in a subfolder.
I often move my 'build' folder to the Recycler and create a new one.
And then, when I want to empty the Recycler, there is a succession of
Error Panels that I cannot stop, like that:
File operation error: Permission denied
with file:
/home/patrick/.Trash/build_copy2/libs-gui/Source/obj/libgnustep-gui.obj/GSCSEditVariableManager.m.d
And so on: guess what it happens when you have thousands of such files
in your .Trash folder...
No way to override (esc key is non efficient nor choosing the override
button). You may only use the mouse and click on moving buttons
because the width of the panel depends on the path shown and on the
length of that string...
So two considerations here:
- Why the Error Panel does not give an effective way to override?
- Or maybe, it could offer the way to use privileged user lever (sudo)
and to accomplish the desired action: empty the Recycler.
To avoid this now, a user should do all this:
- xkill GWorkspace
- restart a new Xsession
- sudo chown --recursive $USER:$USER <the_folder_with_bad_permissions>
- empty the Recycler again: and of course, now it funtions.
With my best regards,
