trash-put --home-fallback (was: trash-put cannot trash regular empty file)

[andreafrancia]

Hey @andreafrancia , I am facing the similar issue.

When I use trash-put in my home directory, it works perfectly as you can see

However, we have another disk \data and trash-put command does not work there.

I have created a .Trash-$UID dir and provided the permissions as mentioned in the documentation chmod a+rw .Trash-$UID` chmod +t .Trash-$UID

I am not sure what to do. Could you please help me out?

Thanks, Naman

Please try these commands and send me the output:

$ trash-put --version
$ trash-list --debug-volumes
$ trash-put --verbose aa.txt

[bnaman50]

Thanks for your response, @andreafrancia.

Here are the output of the commands you asked me to run -

• $ trash-put --verbose aa.txt

  trash-put: Volume of file: /data
  trash-put: Trash-dir: /home/naman/.local/share/Trash from volume: /
  trash-put: found unusable .Trash dir (should be a dir): /data/.Trash
  trash-put: Trash-dir: /data/.Trash-1006 from volume: /data
  trash-put: Failed to trash aa.txt in /data/.Trash-1006, because: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/data/.Trash-1006'
  trash-put: cannot trash regular empty file 'aa.txt'

Looking at the output of the last command, it seems it is trying to write to /data/.Trash-1006. However, this directory does not exist. Rather, I have /data/naman/.Trash-1006. I don't have sudo access on this machine. So would it be possible to trash/put the deleted contents in my user directory on the same volume, say /data/naman/.Trash-1006 or /data/naman/.local/share/Trash.

Once again, thanks for all the help!

[andreafrancia]

I cannot understand why it does not use directly the home trash dir (/home/naman/.local/share/Trash). The --verbose option does not emit sufficient data to understand the current situation.

Please, try to use this command:

trash-put --verbose --trash-dir=/home/naman/.local/share/Trash aa.txt

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia,

Here is the output

I think this is happening because the file aa.txt is on different disk (\data)

[andreafrancia]

Please try this, please:

ls ~/.local/share/Trash/files/aa.txt

Try also to trash a file named bb.txt, please

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia,

I did not have any file named bb.txt so I created one in the \data disk but the issue remains.

If I create the file bb.txt in my home dir, trash-put as expected.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

I think we're almost there, try this:

$ ls -lad /data/aa.txt
$ ls -lad /data

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia ,

Here are the results -

Just to clarify again, I only access to a directory in /data disk which /data/naman.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

ok, I was wrong about the path of aa.txt. I think the issue can be related to the ACLs of the file. Try this please:

$ getfacl /data/naman/aa.txt
$ getfacl /data/naman
$ getfacl /data

[bnaman50]

@andreafrancia

Can you also try the folllowings?

$ cd /data/naman
$ touch cc.txt
$ ls -lad cc.txt
$ getfacl /data/naman/cc.txt`
$ mkdir -p /data/naman/tmp-trash
$ mv -v aa.txt /data/naman/tmp-trash 
$ mv -v cc.txt /data/naman/tmp-trash 

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia ,

This is working as expected but I don't think it solves the trash-put issue though.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

Hi @bnaman50, it's not a permission issue.

Please try this:

$ ls /home/naman/.local/share/Trash/files/aa*
$ ls /home/naman/.local/share/Trash/info/aa*

Please redact any output line with sensible information.

Thank you Andrea

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia,

It shows that there is no file named aa* in the location you specified.

And this is expected since when we moved the file over here /data/naman/tmp-trash following there commands.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

Hi @bnaman50. Sorry for the delay. I know we moved the source file to the /data/naman/tmp-trash. Sometimes the trash-put fails because there is already a similar named file in ~/.local/share/Trash/files but a similar named file is not present in the ~/.local/share/Trash/info directory. This is why asked you to check the directories in ~/.local/share/Trash.

I've added some other debug messages to trash-put. You need to uninstall the current version of trash-cli and install the latest version for using them:

pip uninstall trash-cli
pip install git+https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli

The try to trash aa.txt using the debug option: -vv (with two "v"):

trash-put -vv aa.txt

Some other ideas: The aa.txt file is the only one that does not work? What happen if you rename the file?

[bnaman50]

Hey @andreafrancia ,

Sorry, I got busy and could not try out the solution. Here is the update -

I reinstalled it as you suggested. I also tried the command and here is the log -

Seems like it is expecting the trash folder to be in /data/. However, I don't have access to it. I only have access to /data/naman.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

There is a problem when it tries to trash it in the first trash-dir (~/.local/share/Trash), it doesn't succeed but it does not show any error message. I'm trying to refactor the make it clearer and find where is the place where it may fail and it does not show the error.

Please the next time use copy and paste of the terminal text instead if pasting an image. For me would be easier copy part of the text.

[bnaman50]

Thanks a lot for your continuous help @andreafrancia. And yes, I'll write the errors in the text form rather than image from now onwards.

Thanks, Naman

[andreafrancia]

Hi, I've read and refactored the code in order to understand what is happening on your machine.

When you trash a file from /data trash-cli considers three trash-dir candidates:

1. /home/naman/.local/share/Trash in volume /
2. /data/.Trash/1006 in volume /data
3. /data/.Trash-1006 in volume /data

The you want to trash is /data/namam/bb.txt in volume /data

When trash-put starts it first take in consideration the /home/naman/.local/share/Trash dir but it does not use it because the trash dir and the file are in different volumes. Then it tries /data/.Trash/1006 which is in the right volume, but it does not use it because the .Trash directory does not exists, this directory can be created only by the administrator following the instructions described in the README. The it tries to use the /data/.Trash-1006 directory (which is the right volume) but it fails because you user cannot create the directory .Trash-1006 in /data.

I've updated the trash-put los in order to be more clear in cases like your. Your problem would be solved when I implement the --home-fallback option for trash-put

[bnaman50]

Great. Thanks for the detailed explanation, @andreafrancia.

I'll request the admin to add the top-level trash dir and mentioned in the Readme.

However, best option would be to have trash directory at user level even for other volumes such as \data. Could you please leave it as open and only close it once you implement this feature? That way, I'll get to know that you have updated it and accordingly, I can make changes on my side.

Thanks, Naman

[franzhuang]

I've encountered similar issue. Irm(or mv)the ~/.local/share/Trash folder, and let trash-put create a new one by just trash-put some_file . It works so far.

[andreafrancia]

@bnaman50 I'll leave open this issue until we managed to implement properly --home-fallback

[andreafrancia]

@raffaem I created another GitHub issue for your issue, it is here: #320
