Thought this was just Thunar, checked in Ubuntu Wily with nautilus - same issue there.

Installed restore-trash - and that worked.

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

Used restore-trash after installing trash-cli ...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

ran apport-collect as originally I'd ubuntu-bug'd thunar

[sudodus (nio-wiklund)]

This bug affects Lubuntu i386 too. But it is possible to drag and drop a file for example to the desktop.

[Stulrich (stulrich)]

Same error here with Xubuntu 15.10 (like original poster).

When you, flocculant, say:
> Used restore-trash after installing trash-cli ...

Do you mean by installing trash-cli and doing a "restore-trash" command once, this Thunar bug is gone? Or, more probably, just for the file which didn't get restored by Thunar?

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

No - it doesn't fix the bug - just deals with restoring if the normal way fails.

[Martin Wimpress (flexiondotorg)]

We fixed this in Caja (the MATE filemanager). This might be useful:

[Sean Davis (bluesabre)]

Tested with both Thunar and Nautilus. Cannot restore from trash in either.

Created the file.
Deleted the file in each file manager.
Tried to restore the file in each file manager.

Nautilus displays:
Could not determine original location of “delete.me”
The item cannot be restored from trash

Thunar displays:
Could not restore "delete.me".
Failed to determine the original path for "delete.me".

[Kev Bowring (flocculant)]

Installed thunar, pcmanfm and caja in ubuntu wily daily

All give the same error.

Installed nautilus, pcmanfm and caja in xubuntu wily

All give the same error.
