I tried reproducing using a VM. I used the image
xubuntu-24.04.2-minimal-amd64.iso from
https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/24.04/release/.
The results are slightly different, but interesting:
Steps for reproducing:
- Create a VM using the ISO image xubuntu-24.04.2-minimal-amd64.iso. No
physical disk needed, but ~3GB of RAM
- Boot into the UI
- in a terminal A: tail -f /var/lib/syslog
- in a terminal B:
sudo -i
cd /
truncate -s 100M fakedev.dat
losetup /dev/loop5 /fakedev.dat
mkfs.ext4 /dev/loop5
mkdir /a # don't use /mnt - it behaves differently
mount /dev/loop5 /a
chown xubuntu /a
- in a thunar (file explorer) window, as normal user xubuntu:
open /a
create a new empty /a/whatever.txt (you can use the "create new plain text
file" function)
delete that file using Delete key. there should not be a confirm dialog
# now, a folder /a/.Trash-1000 is created with some structure and the file
inside. at the same time, syslog gets the following new lines:
2025-06-27T12:19:54.762998+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: GFileInfo created
without standard::name
2025-06-27T12:19:54.763470+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: file
../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1698 (g_file_info_get_name): should not be
reached
2025-06-27T12:19:54.764017+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: GFileInfo created
without standard::name
2025-06-27T12:19:54.764535+00:00 xubuntu gvfsd-trash[2239]: file
../../../gio/gfileinfo.c: line 1698 (g_file_info_get_name): should not be
reached
Please note: There was NO direct interaction with the .Trash folder (creating a
file etc). It seems that every deletion of a file results in one or more syslog
warnings.
Please also note: the UI behaves differently, if the loop device was
mounted to /mnt. In this case, delete to trash is not offered and the
file is deleted immediately
