[09:09] <sixwheeledbeast> Anyone had an issue where you can't open the Bin in Caja any more? Just sits loading forever.
[11:39] <superkuh> You mean the trash?
[11:39] <superkuh> or /usr/bin ?
[11:39] <superkuh> If trash, I'd guess a permissions error.
[12:44] <sixwheeledbeast> Trash, Bin, Recycle Bin, whatever locale calls it yes. I haven't changed any premissions
[12:48] <superkuh> Do you use any network file shares?
[12:48] <superkuh> What does $ dmesg say?
[12:52] <sixwheeledbeast> no and nothing
[12:57] <superkuh> Where is your .Trash folder on disk(s)?
[12:58] <superkuh> Usually like, /home/$USER/.local/share/Trash  /root/.local/share/Trash
[12:58] <superkuh> But sometimes for mounted HDD and the like it'll be in their root directory /.Trash1000 or something.
[12:59] <superkuh> The .Trash-1000 thing is 1000 = UUID of the user that moved the item to the trash.
[12:59] <superkuh> So it could be slightly different.
[12:59] <superkuh> Anyway, find those and see if there's something funky going on with them or in them.
[13:00] <superkuh> Also, I hate to be windows, but did you try rebooting? Or restarting the X desktop?
[14:08] <superkuh> While we're on the subject, does anyone know how the Trash applet figures out where all the Trash folders are? Does it have a config somewhere or is it hardcoded? Is there a trashappletwidget.c somewhere?
[14:18] <superkuh> Welp, I looked through all the source for the trash applet and it is not apparent where it finds all the trash directories it displays.
[14:19] <alkisg> afaik for the /home partition it goes under /home/username/.local/share/trash, while for the other partitions it goes under /.Trash-1000
[14:19] <alkisg> the main point is to avoid moving files between partitions
[14:20] <superkuh> Sure. But how does the trashapplet know?
[14:20] <alkisg> no idea, i imagine there's a gvfs call for it
[14:20] <superkuh> Something  gvfsd-trash.
[14:21] <superkuh> Ah, gvfs-ls trash:// is what I wanted.
[14:21] <superkuh> At least it gives a list.
[14:22] <superkuh> Er, no, that's only one Trash folder not all.
[18:17] <sixwheeledbeast> I haven't rebooted that would be my first goto if I couldn't fix it another way. I like my uptime.
[18:19] <sixwheeledbeast> there's is about 30Gb of junk in there but no obvious reason I can't open it via caja
[21:34] <bigpod> superkuh: well trash directories are somewhat standard so trashes are at specific directories and my guess is it checks those paths
