Strange trash bin problem in KDE

Hi!
I just installed KDE from current on a fresh arch linux install, and all works correctly except for the trash can when I click on it I get the message
"The file or folder trash:\ does not exist."
Does anybody know how to fix it?
thanks a lot!!

  • Very strange.  In iPhoto '11, cannot find my Trash bin under RECENT category - -need to retrieve missing photos.

    Hello.  I have been trying to solve this for quite some time on my own.
    I've been using iPhoto for years, and get all the upgrades.  Working with iPhoto tonight, trying to set up two new Albums, it added my entire iPhoto library into the first new Album I created.  When I deleted that, then I tried to create another new Album, this time it added 26 photos from a different Album.  Very strange.  I deleted that new Album, too.  When I went back to the date and photos I was originally looking at, I noticed the two I was going to place in the new Album were missing. 
    That's when I looked up for the Trash bin, which I've usually found under the RECENT category, but now is entirely gone. 
    Oh no...
    I don't understand what is going on.  If anyone has any clues, I would be most grateful for your insight.

    Hello Terence,
    Thanks for your rapid response.  To answer your question, under RECENT, I currently see Last Import, Last 18 Months, Flagged, and...
    Well, this is wonderful, the Trash is back again, right where it was before.  I have also checked the photos that were missing, and they are back right where they were supposed to be.
    Now I am wondering if this is a  iPhoto '11 problem in general, since I noticed there were quite a number of other entries on the iPhoto discussion page  on similar subjects, ranging from Trash trouble to missing photos this evening.  Might there be anything to this?
    It is great that in my case, it's all been restored.  Next time, I will just quit iPhoto and re-open it again.  Perhaps even restarting my Mac might well have been a good enough idea.
    That was a close call.  Thanks very much.

  • Strange problem with kde 4.12 suggestions

    Hi, i have a strange problem with kde 4.12, with the video below is much simple to explain, any idea?
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7vmSq … sp=sharing

    Some of us experienced crashes after 4.11 update. I am not sure if this is related to your case or not but downgrading some packages solves the issue.

  • Items Deleted On External HD Not Appearing In Trash Bin

    Hello,
    I recently used Araxis Find Duplicate Files to remove some mp3s from my external hard drive (files are not stored in iTunes).  After the scan finished, it yielded about 60 GB worth of duplicates.  I made sure that the "move to trash bin" option was selected.  I hit delete and now the files are no longer in the archived folder, but they also do not appear in the Trash.  Stranger yet, the deletions hasn't freed up any additional space either.  I have used Data Rescue 3 to try to attempt to locate the deleted and missing files, but it can't find them.  Does anyone know what else I can try to find these files, or at least recover my hard drive space that seems to have dissappeared?  I have used disk utility to repair permissions and such but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Thanks,
    F

    I am having the exact same problem with my external, which is used as my iTunes library storage.
    When I delete things from iTunes, and select "move to trash", the files do not appear in the trash, as they used to.
    The trash stays empty (as in, no items are visible, even though I just deleted things).
    Oddly enough, after a restart, the files will appear, and thus are able to be trashed.
    Obviously, I do not want to have to restart every time to do this.
    I looked through the other thread, and nothing helped.
    Still looking for some answers!

  • I have dragged 2 files to the trash bin but I cannot delete them from the trash bin. It keeps telling me these files are in use when they are not. How do I delete these files? One is a txt file and the other is an xls file

  • Hard Drive is full.  Didn't empty trash bin but can't see deleted files.

    My MBP Retina is warning me that hard drive is full.  I have deleted large files, but they don't appear in trash.  Can't see them in folder either.  But memory issue persists.  Never emptied trash bin, but still can't see them.

    I have the same problem. My hard drive is full and my trash appears empty. When I drag items to trash it makes the sound but the file doesn't delete and or appear in the trash can. I've tried holding down "option" to empty, going to Finder and holding "shift+command+option" but nothing happens.
    Help?

  • How to delete time machine backups from trash bin

    Hello,
    I've got a little issue with time machine and doing something stupid on my part. I have seen different posts on this question, but it appears that most people haven't found a working solution, so I want to see if anybody has more insight.
    A few weeks back I found that there were some files and folders that were getting backed up to time machine that I didn't want getting backed up for various reasons. Rather than wisely removing the individual folder and files like I've since learned, I removed the whole backup for that date to the trash bin. I know, bad choice.
    I've tried to empty trash bin and delete the backups altogether, but error codes and permissions keep me from doing that. Space isn't an issue on the external drive I use for Time Machine, so I'd be fine with just getting the files OUT of trash and back into the folder with other backup dates-now that I know how to delete individual files. When I try and drag them back to TM folder from trash, get another error message saying something along the lines of the "drive not being able to be modified".
    I've heard of some people using Terminal to remove files, while other folks say that that's dangerous and asking for bigger problems in the OS. So, what are my BEST options? Just want to get locked files out of the trash bin, don't care where they go at this point. I've tried the secure trash delete option and some other simple suggestions with no luck. Backups still sitting in trash.

    Hi DonnaR,
                   What's not good is to remove them via the Finder or any way other than within Time Machine
    Unfortunately this is what I did, and I know better now, but I can't undo what foolish thing I did. I have tried the steps to a T that you included in earlier post from this page- http://pondini.org/TM/E6.html using the Terminal method. The files are still sitting in trash, no change. I have also done the "secure trash" thing holding down option key and that hasn't worked either. I have also done repeated REPAIR DISK operations of the external drive within Disk Utility and a freeware program called Maintenance, and unless there' some special reboot needed, I still see the files there. At this point, and after reading more on pondini.org, I'd rather figure out a way to "Put Back" deleted backups sitting in trash bin to their place in Time Machine folder via finder, if I could figure out a permissions way around the error message I get saying "The operation can’t be completed because backup items can’t be modified." Is there some way of tricking the Finder window into letting me copy back items somehow? Once I get them back in, I will go through and delete the files from INSIDE Time Machine Star Wars view like suggested.    Force deleting items from trash using TrashIt or OnyX is my very last resort. Once I get this figured out, I intend to upgrade to Mavericks, but I want to do it with everything working and clean.   Thanks again!

  • TS2998 After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin).

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, Mail will not let me archive any mail. All archived messages re-appear in my inbox (I have tried archiving and placing in the trash bin). How do i regain control of my inbox?

    The main differences that can cause a problem are scripting additions (64-bit vs 32-bit and security reasons) and the usage of dates (it is not as forgiving). AppleScript itself is basically the same, so if empty paragraphs are what caused your problems the update would have just been a coincidence.

  • Iphoto 8 moving photos into trash bin!! Help!!

    When I try to import photos from my digital camera to iphoto the pics get put into the trash bin and it will not let me put them back. Its not the iphoto trash bin, its the desktop trash bin. I can see them in there and when I right click on them and try to open them with iphoto it gives me an error saying "The following files could not be imported. (The file is in the iphoto library)" Then it gives me a list of all the pics it wouldn't move. There is no option to restor photos to library. Most of these pictures have been in my iphoto before and the new ones went in there for a minute but right after I imported them they just moved over to the trash bin!! HELP!!!!!!
    Thanks

    Sounds like a damage library.  Try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't empty trash bin error: -8003

    I'm trying to delete files from my Mac.
    Whenever I try to empty my trash bin this message appears: Can't complete operation. Error found. (error: -8003)
    Please help!

    This is most commonly due to deleting files from a Time Machine backup using the Finder, which is not something you should be doing. You could easily have corrupted your backups at this point. If you can put those items back where they originally came from, that would be preferable. If not, see:
    Can't empty the trash after deleting backups via the Finder
    If this isn't due to deleting Time Machine backups, there may be other issues. Forcing the trash to empty using the methods that have been given by others may solve the problem, but cover up other symptoms. I would recommend repairing the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.

  • Is there a way to recover documents removed from trash bin

    Is there a way to recover word documents etc that have been removed from the trash bin? They must still be on the hard drive somewhere. Thanks for any help!

    The problem is that your system no longer knows about the files - it has removed the pointer that tells it that those files exist, and where they start and end.
    However, it may be possible to recover the files using a utility like Data Rescue. The less you've used the computer since you emptied the trash, the higher the likelihood of recovery. And I don't just mean reading/writing user files, since the system is constantly using "available" hard drive space as storage (for temp and log files).
    Good luck!

  • Deleted files do not end up in trash bin

    When I delete a file, it does not end up in the trash bin but it is directly deleted from the computer. I get a warning message: 'file will be immediately deleted. Do you want to proceed'. Whe choosing yes, the file is deleted - the trash bin remains empty. When choosing no, the file just stays where it is.
    This problem suddenly occured a few days ago, I don't understand

  • IPhone 3GS Trash Bin Icon in Mail not working after update to 3.1

    Has anyone encountered the same problem that the Trash Bin icon inside the Mail apps no longer works since after (in seems) the update to 3.1?

    No, I haven't noticed. Mine works fine.
    All I can suggest is the standard troubleshooting steps in order.
    Restart your phone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset your phone: Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Restore your phone: Restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

    Hi,
    If you have not already I would change the Slide size to something that has a 4:3 Ratio.
    The Buddy maybe trying to scroll left and right to see the whole slide although this shoud be controlled at you end.
    I would open the Connection Doctor during a Chat  (iChat's Video menu).
    Check that both Bit Rates are relatively stable (there is always some variance.)
    Anything over 5% particularly if over 500kbps is likely to be causing problems.
    You could try limiting the Bandwidth (iChat Menu > Preferences > Video section) to 500kbps at both ends
    It may pay to drop to 200kbps as a test.  (you may lose the Side by Side presentation at this speed).
