Public bug reported: Deleting files on the internal drive moves file into Trash can. The Trash icon changes (buldge) indicating files to be expunged.
On external HDs this is not the case. Files get moved to the Trash folder but the icon does not change and the menu item to empty trash is inactive. Thus, deleted files on external drives cannot be deleted via the GUI. Deleting from command file (in the .Trash folder) is possible and currently the only way to delete files on external HDs This refers to Nautilus 3.20.3 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.20.3-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-22.24-generic 4.8.0 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm wl nvidia_drm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Oct 17 09:10:27 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-05-17 (1248 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Release amd64+mac (20130424) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to yakkety on 2016-10-15 (1 days ago) usr_lib_nautilus: gnome-terminal 3.20.2-1ubuntu5 ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug yakkety -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1634009 Title: Trash on external HDs inoperative To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1634009/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
