Description of problem: I have always kept my trashcan at the lower right corner of my desktop. I Can't remember when it first disappeared But it was before the latest re-install of Fedora 9, Aug 19. 2008 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Nautilus 2.22 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.set gconf-editor => apps => nautilus => desktop => trash_icon_visible true 2. 3. Actual results: Nothing Expected results: false would remove the trashcan; true would return it to the desktop. Additional info: A copy of my posting to the gnome-list: "I have no trash can on my desktop. I have done the following: 1) re-installed Fedora 9 (for other reasons than the trashcan problem) 2) as root removed ~/.gconf in order to start fresh 3) logged in as user to get a new default ~/.gconf directory 4) removed the trash can applet that was on my lower panel (I prefer it on my desktop) 5) set gconf-editor => apps => nautilus => desktop => trash_icon_visible true and false and true again several times; 6) tried gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible true several more times 7) re-booted -- just because 8) NO TRASHCAN on my desktop. 9) Used a temporary work around with a launcher and a link to file//what/ever/.Trash I have found two trash files /home/.Trash-0 & /home/.Trash-root. If I remember correctly, and that's a big if, those two are all there should be. After all, it is a new install. The /home partition was not re-formatted on the new install but .gconf was removed and reconfigured as a default setup. I am at wits end; neither google or 'help' offer a solution that I haven't tried." Reported it as a bug to Gnome. Got the following response: "I think you should report this bug to the Fedora bugzilla first, it has always worked fine for me and it should definitely work in a clean 2.22 installation like Fedora's. I'm tempted to close this as INVALID, but maybe someone else can reproduce/has experienced this bug?" Regards Bill Fedora 9, Gnome 2.22.3 Evo.2.22.3.1, Emacs 22.2.1
Not repro here. You can always reach proper Trash in Nautilus by opening location trash:/// Can you please check whether the /usr/libexec/gvfsd-trash process is running in your Gnome session?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
