Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 135151
member of root group unable to delete files from burn://
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:51 EST
Description of problem: This is a major flaw in nautilus-cd-burner UI, you can remove files you accidentaly dropped in the cd creation window and there is actually no way to reset/flush the content of this window. I actually dont see no other solution but to kill the mapping-daemon and then kill nautilus. Which is totally user-unfriendly. Version-Release number of selected component: nautilus-cd-burner(0:2.8.3-3).i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go the the cd creator nautilus window 2. Drop a file in the window 3. Try to remove it Actual Results: "delete", and even "rename", cant be selected. The "delete" key wont remove the file. Additional info: It used to work in some old versions. At least on FC1/FC2.
err s/you can remove files/you can't remove files/
I don't see this with 2.8.3-4 and gnome-vfs2-2.8.1-7. I'm not sure what the difference between our system is. Can you try upgrading to the latest versions of gnome-vfs2 and n-c-b and log in/out and try again?
I currently have : gnome-vfs2(0:2.8.2-2).i386 nautilus-cd-burner(0:2.8.3-5).i386 I needed to change kernel so I've rebooted earlier today, so I think i can say i have no older-versioned gnome daemons currently running. But I'm still unable to erase files from the cd-creation nautilus window. I'll provide any information you need. Just ask. Do you need full package list (I'm basically running rawhide) ? Or gconf directories copy, maybe ? i dont think there is private data in them.
It seems nautilus thinks you don't have the right to change that file. Can you try using gnomevfs-ls burn:/// and gnomevfs-rm burn:///filename to see if the problem is in gnome-vfs or in nautilus.
[anvil@gruyere ~]# gnomevfs-ls burn:///foo.ogg (Regular, application/ogg) size 42747269 mode 0644 [anvil@gruyere ~]# gnomevfs-rm burn:///foo.ogg [anvil@gruyere ~]# gnomevfs-ls burn:/// [anvil@gruyere ~]# /me votes for a problem in nautilus.. By the way, directories in burn:/// have permissions 0707. Is this.. normal ? (personal umask is 022)
burn:/// really doesn't exist. Its a virtual tree, so permissions are just made up.
are you by any chance logged in as root, or as a user that is a member of the root group?
Ah, user being in root group does cause this.
Fixed in nautilus-cd-burner-2.8.3-6.
For the record, i confirm my user account is member of the root group.
