Simple question but even google does not come up with an answer, seems to be too easy that someone else asked it ;). Could anyone tell me what is the shell command to empty the garbage bin under Linux?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI mount /home on a logical partition. Files and directories that I trash from here go nicely into the recycle bin, and I can right click on it and choose "Empty Trash" with no problem. Files off of the root directory in directories that I "own" (i.e. /mydir/*) do not play as nicely. I went ahead and followed instructions from another post, namely:
Code:
sudo mkdir /.Trash
sudo chmod 1777 /.Trash
And after trashing some files from /mydir, there is indeed a subdirectory with my uid (1000) and files that I trash from /mydir are going in there. However, the recycle bin on my desktop remains empty, and the only method I have for deleting said files is by deleting them from the /.Trash/1000 folders through the command line. So my question is: Is there anyway that I can trash files from /mydir, see them appear on the desktop recycle bin, and empty the trash without the need to rm them directly through the command line? Not sure if it will help, but here is my fstab:
Code:
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=4129f389-92be-459e-8bbc-928c1440f718 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# /home was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=6a30914d-04a3-4b03-85bd-2bf16a68a41a /home ext4 defaults 0 2
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=f388cf04-bbd6-4bf9-9d69-0778b0f158fd none swap sw 0 0
where the folder for the recycle bin is on Ubuntu 10.10?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I have set up a pc to act as remote storage. I connect my desktop pc to it. I have done the following:
sudo apt-get install sshfs
sudo adduser fuse
sudo mkdir /mnt/remotedir
sudo chown username /mnt/remotedir
sshfs username@remote_computer_ip:/path_on_remote_comp /mnt/remotedir
(obviously replacing the username and paths with my information)
I can connect to the remote computer however I cannot delete remote files to the recycle bin. What do I need to do in order to delete files to the recycle bin?
I'm really into desktop customization so today while i was changing a couple of things here, i did the stupidity of changing the recycle bin icon (right click on the icon> properties> basic tab). I obviously regreted it and now i'm trying desperatly to restore it to the default icon. I'm not a total noob when it comes to customization

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently I did a System Mechanics clean-up of invalid and other misc files. The files were moved to the recycle bin, but I couldn't open a file individually while it was in the recyle bin in order to double check whether or not I wanted to perminently delete it. I then selected all items and moved them to a single folder hoping to open it later to review the individual files.I don't know the folder name or what part of the computer this folder was moved to. Is there a way I can find this new folder, name unknown, that was created on 10-12-10? I'm sure it's taking up valuable space in my computer and I want to permently delete the unwanted items individually and not as a whole batch.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

Look at the screenshot, I have only one file in trash but AWN and Docky counts 47+1 items. When it's empty it counts 47, and there's no way to really empty. But files are really gone. It doesn't happens with Cairo Dock (I don't know why).

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo the other day I got myself a nifty ThinkPad x100e. I immediately removed windows 7 started, and installed UNR 10.04.It has a 250GB hard drive, which I decided to partition, so that I can keep all my stuff on the new partition, and then a fresh format or install of the OS would be easier.After struggling to take ownership of my own damn partition after creating it and mounting it, I discovered a rather interesting problem. I KNOW the partition is empty, but when I right click and go to properties, it says that 10GB is already used? This is rather confusing to me
