Hi Damon,
thank you for the quick reply.
The answers are:
a) yes, without LD_PRELOAD all works fine
b) I installed from repository, the libtrash-latest.tgz do not compile, after make I get a lot of errors.

Hi Paul – a couple questions: if you comment out the line you added to /etc/init.d/netatalk does netatlk restart? Also, did you install libtrash from the repositories or from the source? The last time I tried this (8.06) I had to install from the source (see the comment above yours). Am not sure, off the top of my head, what’s going on yet …

I have installed netatalk on ubuntu 9.10 and works fine
I have installed libtrash and and added LD_PRELOAD into /etc/profile and it works
I have added LD_PRELOAD into /etc/init.d/netatalk and netatalk do not restart
I get a segmentation fault
I read syslog this ‘cnid_metad: error binding to socket for localhost: Address already in use’
Can you help me?
Thanks

In case folks were wondering – this wasn’t working for me in 8.06 … so, I got the source and used that instead:

$ wget http://pages.stern.nyu.edu/~marriaga/software/libtrash/libtrash-latest.tgz
$ tar xzf libtrash-latest.tgz
$ cd libtrash-3.2/
$ make
$ sudo make install

Then you have to update the LD_PRELOAD call!

$ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libtrash.so

For me, this worked.

Hmm, I see what you mean now -- well, running the LD_PRELOAD option in the terminal before running gnome-terminal is probably not going to work. When it is run in the terminal it applies to the terminal. If you look at the examples above (for SSH and AFP), both require that modifications be made to how the programs are started internally (that is, the LD_PRELOAD is added to the beginning of their start sequence. My guess is that you would need to look at the command gnome-terminal and see what it depends on to start and access the files. But, to be honest, not sure where to look or if it will even work in the end. I would guess it can, but I'm just not sure. Sorry!

I’m using nautilus (or thunar, or konqueror…) to browse a local folder. (But using libtrash with graphical file manager while browsing network folders would be good idea!) Of course all of these applications have a “Trash” but all of them use different implementations. In addition, when you’re drunk or high, you can “Shift + Del” your files!

Are you using Nautilus to browse a networked folder or a local folder? If you are using a local folder, perhaps you already have a “Trash” feature that is interfering (I know my installation does all its own trash keeping); if you are browsing a network folder, how are you connecting to the server? Nautilus is just the file browser … what is the actual connection: AFP, SSH, NFS, SAMBA, etc?

Don’t worry, my mistake ;)
I’ve mean using libtrash in a desktop environment. It looks like some graphical programs (eg. nautilus) ignore LD_PRELOAD even if they’ve been started from shell (gnome-terminal).

I’m not sure I know … or understand the question fully: do you mean login “remotely” to your server via GDM or KDM ? I have never done that — sorry. I suspect there is a way, however, I don’t know what it is. Let me know if you find one.
