Description Angel Abad 2010-03-02 15:01:48 UTC 
In Ubuntu Karmic Xtigyro reported:

Files which are not on a 'native' Linux file-system cannot be deleted directly ('move to trash' option in the player) through the player.
The error is as follows:

'Unable to find or create a trash directory'

Which is absolutely normal, I guess, but there is no other way to delete the files through the player (the 'Remove' option only removes the song in the player, it does not delete it on the HDD).

Thanks!

Rhythmbox isn't going to treat FAT filesystems differently here, so if this is going to be fixed, it'll have to be in gio.
