Description of problem: When I delete an item the trash bin icon doesn't change. If i open Nautilus on trash position ("track:/") or I double-click on the icon over the desktop it seems to be empty. When I open Nautilus to ~/.Trash it shows me the files and directory I've deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.14.0 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete a file or a directory 2. Open the trash using the icon over the desktop Actual results: The trash bin is always empty. Expected results: The files/directory I've deleted should appear in the trash. Additional info: It seems like this problems was also found on the devel version (see bug 184473) but it hasn't been fixed in the release version of Fedora Core 5.
I can confirm this. The deleted files are moved into $(HOME)/.Trash and can be deleted manually, but are not shown in a nautilus folder nor are deleted by clicking on context-menu->"empty trash" -- the menu item "emty trash" stays greyed out, whether there are files in the trash or not.
This is apparently only the case for pre-existing users in systems upgraded or re-installed from a previous version of Fedora Core. Brand new users do not appear to experience this problem.
Re: bug 184473, referenced in comment #1 above, I'm not sure having /home on a separate partition is necessarily relevant to the problem. I tested this with a new user on a system *with* a separate /home partition, and the Trash works normally there. Only the existing users suffer from this problem.
I don't think so. I didn't upgrade my existing system to FC5. I'll try to create a new user...
No luck... It seems like is a SElinux problem. I also tried to install FC5 on an LVM volume with /home directory on a different logical volume and it works as it should!
How do you know its a selinux problem. Does "/sbin/setenforce 0" make the problem go away?
Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8?
