restore from trash fails

[bruce]

I deleted some folders and files. When I go to the Trash folder, right click and select 'Restore from Trash' the window disappears, and the file or folder is not restored.

deleted files are in /home/yourusername/.local/share/Trash/files/
or open Terminal and type... pantheon-files ~/.local/share/Trash/files/

This doesn't address the issue I reported. I didn't ask where they were.

To repeat, it is pantheon-files that is broken, it crashes when I try to undelete. I am able to undelete just fine using nautilus.

Perhaps this helps? This is what I get when I launch it from the command line, it gets a segment fault:

bruce@barsoom:~$ pantheon-files

Hello Bruce, thanks for the report. There was a regression recently in Files that was supposed to be fixed in version 0.3.0.2.

When you say you get a seg fault on the command line, is this immediately after launch or when you try to restore?

I am not having any trouble restoring from trash using version 0.3.0.2 rev 2310. Does it happen for all files or only those from certain locations or with certain names for example?

[Gre0 (gre0)]

The version on loki stable with all updates is 0.3.0.2-0~r2304+pkg54~ubuntu0.4.1

The segfault only appears when you want to restore a file or folder.

For me all files and folders are affected from any location. So can't restore anything.

[Gre0 (gre0)]

On a separate partition i have installed loki beta2 a few weeks ago.
I did a restart and checked if the problem is there too.
rev 2309 and after update rev 2310 has the same error.

Did not noticed the problem in the last weeks with beta2 because i don't delete or restore anything.

I managed to product a crash with a certain sequence of operations - but now I cannot reproduce it.

[bruce (darkoverlordofdata)]

This does not happen on launch, I see this immediately after selecting restore from right click.
I just tried creating several test files and folders in various locations and deleted them all.
Then I tried restoring them from pantheon-files. It crashed on all of them. Nautilus worked on all of them.

[Jeremy Wootten (jeremywootten)]

If you are able to compile and test this branch: lp:~jeremywootten/pantheon-files/fix-1622053-restore-from-trash-crash to see whether it fixes the problem I would be grateful. But make sure that there are no pantheon-files processes running in the background (e.g. by using gnome-system-monitor) and install the branch so that the trash plugin is overwritten (the plugins cannot run in the build directory). There is another bug I have just found where Files keeps running in the background even when you close the window in some cases which means the old version runs even though you think you are running a new version (unless you restart).

I did get a couple of crashes with the trunk and have re-written the part where the crash occurred, but now I cannot reproduce the crash in trunk - very odd.

I tried with the liveusb of loki (stable iso without any updates) on my other pc...same problem.

Create a simple file in home...delete...then go to trash and immediately after the click in the context menu 'restore from trash' pantheon-files closes(crash).

[Jeremy Wootten (jeremywootten)]

J.Ar: The version without updates 0.3.0 is known to have this regression - this update was supposed to have fixed it - clearly not for everyone.

[Gre0 (gre0)]

Jeremy: The version in 'elementaryos-0.4-stable-amd64.20160909.iso' is 0.3.0.2 but i do not know the exactly revision. But it should just a hint, that the problem exists in the recent stable iso.

I would like to help with testing the revision 2311 but i do not know how to compile or install this branch.

[Gre0 (gre0)]

Jeremy: I managed it! I installed many things like cmake and so on...and followed the INSTALL file and your email hint...and now i can restore files! Your fix works! Thx for your work and patience.

[Zisu Andrei (matzipan)]

Jeremy, wanna propose a merge?

[Jeremy Wootten (jeremywootten)]

J.Ar: Thanks for succeeding in installing and testing that branch! I will propose it to be merged with trunk now.

I still can't restore the files from trash.
