Bug Description

Hi , when i delete a file where is in another partition than " / " or mounted in /media/xxxx , i obtain the message in title.

how can i use trash again please ?

iznobe@iznobe-PC:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#

# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices

LABEL=Seagate_4T /media/Seagate_4T ext4 defaults,noauto 0 0

trash is working for filesysteme mounted on /media/WD8PRO1 but not in FS mounted on /Vidéos/WD8PRO2 and /Vidéos/WD8 using ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS .

Exactly same file systeme mounted on same directory , with same trash directory is working fine on ubuntu 20.04

[Workaround]

Rename the mount point to not include non-ASCII characters.

I'm not sure if this problem is happening on Linux Mint 21 or Ubuntu 22.04.1. While Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, it is not the same as Ubuntu, and may have behaviors (and bugs!) that differ from Ubuntu's. Could you clarify which Linux distro you're experiencing this problem on?

i have this probleme only on ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS AND on linux mint 21 .

i have tested on ubuntu 20.04 and all works fine .

i have a debian testing , if you want , i can do the same things to see if the problem is still present on this OS .

Out of curiosity, would it work if you rename Vidéos into Videos?

Mounting a FS directly on /Vidéos is working well trash include ...

In fact , i tested again in ubuntu 20.04 , and it appears same bug ( now ? ) .
/Vidéos = trash is working
/Vidéos/WD8 and /Vidéos/WD8PRO2 = trash isn't working .

i use this name /Vidéos as parent mountpoints directory because :

iznobe@iznobe-PC:~$ find ~ -maxdepth 1 -type l
/home/iznobe/Ressources
/home/iznobe/Vidéos
/home/iznobe/Documents
/home/iznobe/Musique

/home/iznobe/Photos
/home/iznobe/Images

Probably better off changing the parent directory name, I'm afraid.
