Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: Mandrake RPMs Compiler: gcc 3.3.1 Mandrake Linux 9.2 3.3.1-2mdk OS: Linux Sometimes, when I copy a directory containing thousand files to another place, you get an copy error message on some files. Note that the copy work without any problem when I use "cp" in a terminal. Sometimes, when I want to delete a directory containing many files (it is an uncompressed archive of a big project, ~ 4000 files), konqueror tells me it cannto delete one of the sub-directories. If I retry immediately the delete operation, everything works! The last bug happens frequently, but I can't reproduce it as I want. I use a ReiserFS 3.6 file system.
I didn't have the problem since Mandrake 10 and KDE 3.2
Works for reporter.
Same problem with KDE 3.4.2, but I can be a little more precise :-) What I try to delete (definitely) is a directory containing the sources of gambas (for example, the last release). This directory contains many directories and files, and sometimes (rarely) the delete fails with a simple error message "cannot delete the 'help' directory". This directory is a sub-directory of the package containing thousands of HTML help files, and delete always stops there. If I retry the deletion operation, everything goes fine.
gambas, does the problem still exist with KDE 3.5?
I don't use KDE 3.5 yet, so I can't tell.
I reproduced it with KDE 3.5.4 on SUSE Linux 10.1.
I don't know if it can help, but I find strange that there are no explanation in the error message. Usually, when a IO job fails, I always get the cause in the error message. There, I get nothing.
I have the same bug on Ubuntu with Konqueror 3.5.4 ; a subdirectory cannot be deleted for unexplained reasons (proprietary rights correct) ; when trying directly to delete the subdirectory it works ! Regards
I reproduced this bug with KDE 3.5.7 on Mandriva 2007 Spring.
I just got the same problem when deleting a large directory on an NTFS partition (using fuseblk on kubuntu) with rm -rf. A few files were not deleted, and rm showed: rm: can't remove `/mnt/windows/OldLinuxBackup/build/fgdet.o': Operation not supported Obviously in my case it wasn't a kde issue, but a filesystem issue. I don't know if all other bugs reported here were also due to filesystem issues or not, but it's a possibility... Of course we should still try to retrieve the error message in this case... I wonder if errno is ENOTSUP. More testing required.
