Ubuntu/Nautilus should create missing .Trash-$USER

[sebastian-s]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have a second partition mounted at /data.
If I move a file to the trash on this partition Nautilus warns me that the file can't be move to the trash and will be deleted instead.

To fix it I only had to create /data/.Trash-$USER and sudo chown me:me /data/.Trash-$USER and Nautilus started using the trash on this partition immediately.

I think that Ubuntu/Nautilus should create the .Trash-$USER if required/during setup. In fact it does with USB sticks, SD cards, etc. which is not to anyones liking (see bug 12893 )

(Maybe there is the need to request sudo permission from the user depending on the mount point/owner of the partition)

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

Sudo is not always enough (for example, autofs or networked filesystems).
See also bug #1035843 .

But even when you fix that manually you run into bug #594674 .

is that still an issue in newer versions?
