Couldn't remove non-empty folders on a ftp server

[Okki]

Binary package hint: nautilus

It was ok with old Nautilus 2.20 and gnome-vfs, but now, with Nautilus 2.22 ans gvfs 0.2.3 we cannot remove non-empty folders on a ftp server. For me, this is a big regression.

After few tests, I think the problem came from files or directories with non-ascii characters :

$ ls -1 "Tokyo Café"/
Tokyo Café - 21 - Suzuka à Harajuku.avi
Tokyo Café - 22 - Au carrousel du Louvre avec la mangaka Eiko Hanamura.avi
Tokyo Café - 23 - Concert de Halcali à Paris.avi
Tokyo Café - 24 - Les lieux de rendez-vous au Japon.avi
Tokyo Café - 25 - Histoire du chien fidèle Hachiko.avi
Tokyo Café - 26 - Suzuka et Moon Kana au restaurant Monsieur Lapin.avi
Tokyo Café - 27 - Au salon de l'agriculture.avi
Tokyo Café - 28 - Les cris d'animaux en japonais.avi
Tokyo Café - 29 - Shibuya Girls Collection au Japon.avi
Tokyo Café - 30 - Duel entre deux cuisiniers.avi

Another problem, we can see these files from a ssh session, but for nautilus, the directory is empty (0 element).

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html>. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

 We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. <http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures> Thanks!

For the ftpd, I use ProFTPD 1.3.1-6+b1 from Debian testing.

To verify it's not the same bug than #215517, I removed all the hyphens (with ssh) to obtain :

Tokyo Café 21 Suzuka à Harajuku.avi
Tokyo Café 22 Au carrousel du Louvre avec la mangaka Eiko Hanamura.avi
Tokyo Café 23 Concert de Halcali à Paris.avi
Tokyo Café 24 Les lieux de rendez vous au Japon.avi
Tokyo Café 25 Histoire du chien fidèle Hachiko.avi
Tokyo Café 26 Suzuka et Moon Kana au restaurant Monsieur Lapin.avi
Tokyo Café 27 Au salon de l'agriculture.avi
Tokyo Café 28 Les cris d'animaux en japonais.avi
Tokyo Café 29 Shibuya Girls Collection au Japon.avi
Tokyo Café 30 Duel entre deux cuisiniers.avi

Now, in Nautilus, I can see three files :

Tokyo Café 21 Suzuka à Harajuku.avi
Tokyo Café 27 Au salon de l'agriculture.avi
Tokyo Café 30 Duel entre deux cuisiniers.avi

If I try to delete the directory, only these three files are deleted.

did you read the documentations pointed? the bug has still no description of the issue, "does not work" is not useful, do you get an error, does it crash, does it do nothing?

[Okki (gnomelibre)]

Nautilus does nothing. It does not crash, the files are still here, and we have only this error :

Error while deleting.

Couldn't remove the folder Tokyo Café.
Directory not empty

Could you run /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd -r on a command line, try to delete the directory in nautilus and copy the log to a comment?

Nothing related to my previous problem, but I find somewhat strange that Nautilus checks for VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, SVCD, VCD, BDAV... directories while connected on a FTP server.

Thanks to Sebastien Bacher's patch, the bug within the 0.2.3-0ubuntu4 version is now fixed.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

Thanks a lot for the feedback, marking this as fixed.
