nautilus hangs on accessing trash

[David Mack]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 LTS with latest updates. After installing updates on 5-24-08, nautilus is not able to access the trash folder. Trying to access from desktop gives error "Couldn't display trash:, there is noapplication installed for this file type." No idea what caused it. I did notice an update to Nautilus in the latest bundle, so I guess that was what did it.

thank you for your bug report, is gvfsd-trash running? does gvfs-ls trash: works correctly?

[David Mack (barid42)]

No, gvfsd-trash is not running, and the command you gave comes back as beng invalid, even after I instaled the required package.

~$ gvfs-ls trash:
Error: Operation not supported
~$

I can access and manipulate the folder using Thunar, though...

could you run /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd -r on a command line, and start running /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-trash then and note what is printed when running the commands and when trying to use gvfs-ls or nautilus?

I have the exact same problem. When I try to run /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd -r nothing happens and /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-trash gives: "Added new job source 0x8075808 (GVfsBackendTrash)
Queued new job 0x8076820 (GVfsJobMount)
send_reply, failed: 0
register_mount_callback, mount_reply: (nil), error: 0x8073840
Mount failed: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered"
Like Sebastien, it happened on Ubuntu 8.04 after a recent upgrade. Very annoying for a noob like me who was looking for a more reliable OS.

Trash can be deleted but not accessed for viewing.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

nothing is printed on the command line when you try to open the trash in nautilus then? could you try to stop gvfsd-trash before starting a new one?

[rekan (jphjacobs)]

Strange but it works now. I don't know how but it is solved. I tried the commands above and it didn't seem to work. I removed and add the trash icon on the panel, I rebooted and now it is working. Happy camper again :-)

closing the bug now since it works correctly and the submitter didn't reply to the comments
