Re: Unable to find or create trash directory

Hi,

exactly the same here. (archlinux)
Tried to change the permissions of .Trash folders, but its still not working.

regards,
hansi

Edit:
Ups, i have the problem with NFS mounts, i should improve my reading skills. :-(

Re: Unable to find or create trash directory

Could this be because fat/ntfs filesystems don't support the same permissions used by linux filesystems like ext4? Files on ntfs/fat typically obtain their user/group properties from the mount options that you provide. I'm just guessing, but if this is your problem, then it is mentioned here.

Re: Unable to find or create trash directory

In fstab :
LABEL=Data  /mnt/data  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=077,uid=1000,gid=100,users,exec,noauto,noatime 0 0

The important parts being umask, uid and/or gid.

Re: Unable to find or create trash directory

Creating a .Trash-1000 folder in the root of your mounted ntfs partition will fix this.

i had simillar problem with deluge(it said that can't reach files), adding "uid" and "gid" to fstab line helped.
