Cannot send files to the basket bin
Posted: Tue May 28, 2024 6:48 pm
by pcfan
I have a partition sda3 which contains my files mounted in /home/username/DATA
In order to have access to it I was told to run sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /path
However, when I try to delete any file it says that the system (subsystem files) doesn't allow to send it to the basketbin (it is in spanish) so It will be eliminated.
How can I solve this?

Ownership does not necessarily mean that you have the rights specified to write to a folder.
do an
in that folder and see what rights you have in that folder. If you dont have rights to write, then you need to add them.

We have GUI tools in the file managers that allow to to look at and change permissions, too.

I do not use LXDE, I use Xfce.
He said that...
Code: Select all
I have a partition sda3 which contains my files mounted in /home/username/DATA
In order to have access to it I was told to run sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername /path
I would question his mount point. If the path was not correct then the sudo command will not do anything. Also if they use $USER:$USER then it replaces $USER with the username that was used to logged in.
I think that his path or mount point is most likely like this "/media/towwire/My_Data/" which is for one of mine. I have never mounted a partition in /$HOME, only used system links.

@pcfan
IIRC, you had a little trouble setting up the DATA partition - or whatever was used.
You may want to include that link, or at least the part indicating what you did.
Also, IIRC, I would not have done it the way that you did, BUT that's mostly because I really only know my method.
IIRC, CB bailed me out.
Good Luck

Some information are missing. E.g Which file system is the partition formatted with?
Further what file-manager is in use?
Does the file-manager support Trash/Wastebasket, and is normally "Send to Trash" working?
You can check wheter gvfs/gio-trashing is working
e.g by these steps on the terminal command line:
* Open terminal as normal user.
*change to the DATA mounted partition
* List current items with the Wastebaket/Trash
* Maybe clear /remove all items within the Trash:
* Now the test:
create a TEST directory and change into, and create a testfile.txt
Code: Select all
mkdir TEST
cd TEST
echo This is a Test. > testfile.txt
* Now send this testfile to the wastebasket:
* list the trash-bin:
Open the filemanager and check the Trash item "testfile.txt"
is visable.
If not, the file manger you are use might not support trashing
for files located on another mounted partition.
If so, consider another filemanager to be used.
HTH
PS:
Maybe this:
WIthin PCmanFM preferences window -> General
do untick "Erase files on removable media instead of "trash can" creation"
as show in these pictures:

PCManFM

Yes

e.g by these steps on the terminal command line:

*change to the DATA mounted partition

It doesn't show anything, it was clean
It returns to cd ~/DATA

* Now the test:
create a TEST directory and change into, and create a testfile.txt

This worked perfectly

This last step did the trick (so far) . THANK YOU !
It seems my systems understands that sda3 is an external unit. Because now I can move the files there to the basket-bin.

that means you have no files in that folder / directory. In order to see your rights for that folder.. you need to be one folder above it and do this:
ls is the list command.
- indicates the beginning of the command options.
l asks for a long list which includes the permissions.
d indicates that the list should concern the named directory itself; not its contents. If no directory name is given, the list output will pertain to the current directory.

you need to be one folder above it and do this:
"ls -la" should also provide this info, since it will include the . and .. directories in its output.

Correct, I just wanted to get a little closer to 'the' folder', without all the other potential files etc.

No disagreement there but if the directory is empty as we know it is, it wouldn't be a huge issue.

I just meant find your former url link and then simply paste it in a post.
I realize some time has elapsed since then, and others are addressing the issue.

Yup.. and that shows that your group owner permissions are not Read+writable.
Have a look here at the permissions you should have for a folder / file.
