trash has stopped working on linux since version 1.2.0 about trash

[kevva]

That's expected if you aren't running as sudo. To remove users along with their home directories (and other files) you should run userdel --remove-all-files <username>.

It's not running in any folder, I just mentioned home as an example.

@srijanshetty Can you be a bit more specific of what kind of path you tried to remove then?

[srijanshetty]

@sindresorhus Sorry for the arcane replies.
Ever since I've updated to [email protected], deleting any file in any of the subdirectories of /home/ leads to the error "EACCES, mkdir '/home/.Trash-1000'"

[kevva]

Do you have the correct permissions over your home directory? chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME. And can you run df -kP <file> on the file you're trying to remove and paste the output here? It sounds like /home/ is mounted somewhere else than / which is weird.

I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04. I'm just trying to trash a regular file in my ~/projects/ subdirectory (a .sublime-workspace file to be precise). trash was working fine for me before I upgraded to 1.2.0.

Here's my output for df -kP <file>:

Filesystem     1024-blocks     Used Available Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sda6         40269400 14836096  23364672      39% /home

Ok, it's because it's mounted on /home instead of /.

[Rowno]

Yep, I mount /home on a separate partition to make reinstalling the OS simpler. 😉

[kevva]

Need to find a way to get the home partition then. Python has a function for this while node doesn't. I've added a small fix for /home though kevva/xdg-trashdir@6272144.

[srijanshetty]

I have the same setup 😉

[sindresorhus]

@kevva Can you open an issue for this on xdg-trashdir so this issue can be closed?

[kevva]

You can close this. I've partially fixed it for people having the home partition on /home. If it's something else it won't work though.
