XUbuntu Thunar liveCD cannot delete a file

[peterzay]

When you try to delete a file you get the error: Unable to find or create trash directory. This is a user test file created from the empty file template.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I guess that's a permission issue, a bit similar to Bug #192629 (although it only happens on the livecd which is not a NTFS filesystem).

[Lionel Le Folgoc (mrpouit)]

I checked, and Thunar calls g_file_trash (), and this error string comes directly from glib anyway. "gvfs-trash foo" on the livecd also fails with the same error.
