Same with me - it happens only for user with encrypted home directory deleting files outside of the same directory on the same filesystem (logical partition). The error was there already with 9.04 and persists in 9.10.
If it is of any help: On 9.04, I have migrated from a single partition (ext3) to LVM (separate physical partition for /boot, single LVM's volume group for the /) with ext4 and the behaviour is the same - no influence. I have reported that already in https://bugs.launchpad.net/gvfs/+bug/106621/comments/53 (partly off- topic there). -- Cannot move any file outside of home folder to trash (ext4) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/469571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of eCryptfs, which is subscribed to ecryptfs-utils in ubuntu. Status in “ecryptfs-utils” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Using Karmic 2.6.31-14-generic When I try to delete a file anywhere outside of my home folder, I get a message saying that it cannot be moved to trash. I am given an option to permanently delete it. Steps to reproduce: 1 - Go to the /tmp folder. 2 - Create a new file there (Right click > Create Document > Empty File). 3 - Try to delete that file. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs Post to : ecryptfs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ecryptfs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
