cannot delete server entries in "Computer" folder
Last modified: 2008-06-22 15:10:53 UTC
Please describe the problem: After creating a connection to a server with "Connect to server", the created icon can'be be deleted. Steps to reproduce: 1. "Connect to server" 2. entry for this server appears in "Computer" 3. try to delete it, e.g. pressing "Del" Actual results: error message box 1: Item can't be moved to Trash, delete immediately? -> Delete error message box 2: Error while deleting - Abort/Retry? Expected results: entry should be deleted Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Unfortunately, the bug is still there in nautilus 2.18.3. The error messages are a little bit different, but the result is the same. Steps to reproduce: 1. open the "Computer" window of nautilus 2. "File->Connect to Server", create a server connection (called servercon) 3. a new Icon representing the connection appears in the "Computer" window (4. connection works) 5. try to remove it via "Del" key: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" 6. try "Delete" button 7. Error "Operation not permitted" while deleting "computer:///servercon.volume", Would you like to continue? Cancel/Retry 8. retry doesn't help and cancel cancels the operaton... :-(
problem is still in evolution 2.22, delete a server connection with <Del> leads to the described errors sure, it is possible to delete it with "Unmount Volume" of the context menu, but nevertheless it is confusing - usually it is possible to somehow "remove" all objects with <Del> - so why not for the server connections? Probably <Del> could just unmount the volume...
