PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/proc/filesystems'

When I use trash-empty or trash-rm, this error appears:

even when files are successfully removed

There is something unexpected in your system configuration.

Please try also these commands and share the output:

• ls -lad /proc/filesystem
• cat /proc/filesystem
• trash-list --volumes
• trash-list --debug-volumes

It seems to be an issue of psutil. I reported it and they already fixed it.

[babaric-dev]

Inside list_mount_points.py, adding all=True when calling psutil.disk_partitions will fix the issue. Are there any side effects? If not, please use my suggestion.

[andreafrancia]

I used all=True

I'm facing similar issue on Android 13 with Termux
