## Warning about Trash in Refracta

Sun Apr 09, 2017 11:29 pm

There's no trash icon on the desktop, because there's no gvfs installed, and there's no gvfs installed because it requires libsystemd0. You all know that already. What you might not know (and you should) is that when you delete files or directories from ~/Desktop, they don't get deleted. They go into the invisible trash can.
Check in ~/.local/share/Trash/ in both the files and info subdirectories. You can use the file manager to delete those, and they will really be gone.

Trash -cli is in the repos, easy way to handle deletion with non gvfs distros.

I just have a launcher in one of the panels. I don't like system icons cluttering the desktop.

@dyfi, Thanks for that!
@golinux, what does your launcher do?
Just after I started this thread, aitor announced that he's repackaging gvfs. That will eventually get into devuan repos and this won't be an issue anymore.

The launcher is the trash applet that's available in the panel addons. Don't know whether that would work without gvfs which I have installed. Maybe not . . .

Nope. Doesn't work without gvfs. I can add the Trash applet to the panel, but I get an error icon instead of a trash icon, and it gives me the message that it can't connect, operation not supported.
I'm betting on aitor. I expect we'll have the trash icon back on the desktop in ascii. (note: it's also possible to use gvfs from antix or angband repos.)

mebbe:

Code:
  `#!/bin/sh
  rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*`

And a .desktop file for it, make a launcher somewhere, panel maybe?
