[opensuse] Can't Delete Items By Hitting Delete Button
Hi, I came across a strange issue on openSUSE 12.1. I can delete any items on the desktop or inside any folders just by selecting and hitting the delete button of the keyboard. What could be the problem? Swapnil -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I assume you "cannot" delete items? You are not owner permissions are wrong on /home/<user> /home/<user>/Desktop -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I assume you "cannot" delete items? sorry for the tyop ;-)
You are not owner permissions are wrong on /home/<user> /home/<user>/Desktop
I am the owner, I can delete by right clicking on the item and select 'send to trash' from the menu. I can't delete using key in any other folder outside home as well. Any keybinding issues?

perhaps on your machine, not on mine :^) there is a wonderful application called "Configure Desktop" on kmenu or systemsettings from the cl which may help you examine key assignments. Open it and look at "Shortcuts and Guestures" also an app called "xev" in xev, my "Delete" key shows: KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0xc800001, root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 1216464113, (162,-12), root:(165,1006), state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0xc800001, root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 1216464224, (162,-12), root:(165,1006), state 0x0, keycode 119 (keysym 0xffff, Delete), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (7f) "" XFilterEvent returns: False The first sequence is for depressing the <delete> key, the second for releasing it. might be different if not using an English(US) keyboard/language. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
