I'm afraid I am not familiar with Nautilus, but here are some thoughts which |
| 43 |
might help. Could this be something related to having a following "/" when |
| 44 |
running the rm command? What I mean is that the following two commands are |
| 45 |
not the same: |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
and |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
rm /home/alexander/Desktop/Bilder/ |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
the latter will try to descend into the directory Bilder. The former will |
| 54 |
only remove the symlink Bilder from the desktop directory. Not sure how |
| 55 |
Nautilus runs it, although the error shows that it does not descent? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Of course all of the above may become further complicated when the command |
| 58 |
transcends fs mounted with restrictive access rights (as far as the shell |
| 59 |
executing the command is concerned). Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable |
| 60 |
than I can help here. |
