Dear all,
I had been running Tahr for some time and was very happy with it, except for the CD-Burning issue of PBurn.
So, I've 'upgraded' to Xenial 7.5 - wonderful!! Thank you!! Except...
1) Missing trash.
The trash icon shows no files at all - so emptying the trash has not effect. However, when I use XFE and look in /root/.local/share/Trash/ Files (and/info) everything I've deleted is still there.
How can I empty the trash ?
2) Mydbox and Dropbox
Using Quickpet Xenial, I downloaded and installed mydbox, but it asked for my id via Palemoon each time I started the PC. Thinking I'd somehow screwed up the installation, I went to PPM to uninstall it - but it didnt show.
Then I attempted to use the utility mydbox-1.2_noarch.remove to uninstall it - that didnt appear to do anything. As a final attempt, I used Pfind to move all mydbox files to the trash (see problem above). However, Xenial Quickpet says it cant install mydbox as it's already installed.
How can I remove mydbox so that I can re-install it using the Xenial Quickpet ?
Is mydbox meant to show up in ppm ?
Is there a workaround for having to re-link Dropbox to an account each time I start up ?
Thanks in advance
Pete...

Pete, concerning Trash, right click, "App dir - Look Inside," then right click - "Edit Item." Do yours match?
As for that other item, is this what you installed?
Re-download MyDbox, right click and extract its contents. Run the puninstall.sh script.

Hi Matchpoint,
Thanks for the rapid reply.
1) Trash
Yes. When I right click on my Trash icon, it shows me that the trash icon is (what appears to be) a simlink which is located in /usr/local/trash/apps/Trash. All the files that you display in your screen dump also appear in my area.
2) Mydbox - Dropbox
Yes. It's version 1.2 which I got from QuickPet, but I did notice that version 1.2.4 is mentioned in that thread.
Regards
Pete...

Concerning Trash, did you happen to install Thunar?
For MyDbox, what did you choose here?

Not sure what happened there Pete.
I gave it a spin, wasn't happy, and so bailed on it in favor of mikeb's Dropbox_GUI.

The trash (desktop icon) that xenialpup uses puts stuff in1) Missing trash.
The trash icon shows no files at all - so emptying the trash has not effect. However, when I use XFE and look in /root/.local/share/Trash/ Files (and/info) everything I've deleted is still there.
Code: Select all
/root/.trash
If you have /root/.local/share/Trash/ that is not the trash used by the desktop icon trash.
If you are using a different file manager.
It may have it's own trash.
So, when you send something to the trash, drag and drop it onto the desktop trash icon.
In Rox file manager you should get a right click menu option to select trash.
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
