[gentoo-user] gnome file access

[Daniel Pielmeier]

Hello,

i have created the folder /video with the following rights:

drwxrwxrwx   11 vdr  video  4096  5. Jan 23:09 video

I am member of the video group but not the user vdr.

In nautilus i can create subfolders and files, rename, cut, copy and
paste them, but i can not delete any files or folders there.

Within gnome-terminal using the rm command i have the right to delete
files and folders.

What is the problem in nautilus?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean with "can not delete"? Can you not delete
or can you not put into trash?

i mean i can not put the files into the trash, a window pops up and says
i have not the right access-rights.

That's what I thought.

Reason: You don't have write permission on the root folder
of the filesystem holding that folder you're trying to delete
from. You need this, so that Nautilus can create its trash
folder. Alternatively, you can create it by hand.

Thank you,
i have changed the attributes for the video folder but not for the trash
folder on this partition. I changed them and can now delete the files.
