89104 2005-04-14 10:23 0000 Nautilus-2.10.0 failed to delete files whose path include a link to another disk 2005-11-03 07:52:18 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux GNOME unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 cjouny@gmail.com gnome@gentoo.org dshanker@gmail.com cjouny@gmail.com 2005-04-14 10:23:50 0000 When you create a link which point to another disk mounted locally, files can be erased if accessed by the mount point but not if accessed by the link. If the link is toward same partition, there is no problem. It is not a mount problem as I can delete the file if accessed directly. Link permission is 755 and owned by me. Tested on 2 differents computers with x86 and amd64. Same behavior. In case it matters, I installed gnome-light only. (2.10_pre0) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount a writable partition on /mnt/disk1 2. Create a link to a part of it in your home directory (ln -s /mnt/disk1/folder ~/link_to_folder) 3. Create a file there (touch /mnt/disk1/folder/testfile) 4. Open nautilus and navigate to ~/link_to_folder 5. Trying to delete the file ... it failed, nothing happen. Neither by hitting Del key or right-click menu. 6. Navigate to /mnt/test/folder/ 7. From here, file can de deleted Actual Results: Nothing happend when trying to delete file. Expected Results: Be able to deleted from either path.

Correct line is : 6. Navigate to /mnt/disk1/folder/ dshanker@gmail.com 2005-10-30 14:56:07 0000 I was unable to reproduce the bug with Nautilus 2.12.1; Nautilus allowed me to delete files on the mounted partition without issue. Can you try with 2.12.x? cjouny@gmail.com 2005-11-01 08:09:38 0000 It seems to have been corrected somewhere on the way. I don't have the problem anymore. Work correctly on amd64. PS:still able to reproduce on nautilus-2.10.1 on x86 (not yet upgraded). So only 2.12 seems to have it corrected. cjouny@gmail.com 2005-11-01 08:11:34 0000 Forgot on last post. Tested with nautilus-2.12.1 om amd64. cjouny@gmail.com 2005-11-01 08:18:21 0000 Update: It appears that now I cannot remove the folder link. So now the file can be erased but I cannot delete the link to the folder on mounted partition. I am the owner of link and permissions are 777. Based on same instructions as post #1: -navigate to home, and trying to delete ~/link_to_folder failed. Either with delete key or right-click "Move to trash". Delete in terminal with rm command works fine. dshanker@gmail.com 2005-11-01 09:53:04 0000 Able to reproduce (not being able to delete the symlink in nautilus) on 2.12.1 also. :( dang@gentoo.org 2005-11-01 11:43:55 0000 Fixed in 2.12.1-r1. dshanker@gmail.com 2005-11-02 09:45:29 0000 Tried with 2.12.1-r1 and still can't remove the symlink to a directory on another partition. Regards, dshanker@gmail.com 2005-11-02 09:49:08 0000 Additionally, if I remove the directory the symlink is referencing, I'm then able to remove the symlink. Regards, dang@gentoo.org 2005-11-02 09:55:39 0000 I was unable to remove the symlink on 2.12.1, but was able to on 2.12.1-r1. The upstream bug for this resulted in the fix in this update, and nothing more, so there must be some additional problem. (note, delete and move to trash are two different operations. I was able to delete before, but not move to trash.) I'd guess this needs to be taken upstream, at this point, because they consider it fixed. cjouny@gmail.com 2005-11-03 07:52:18 0000 Just to confirm, I am now also able to delete link with nautilus 2.12.1-r1 (on gentoo amd64).
