Delete to Trash isn't working about variety HOT 12 CLOSED

I think, it is not recognizing the 'gio' app installed on my pc
source: variety-master/variety/VarietyWindow.py -> mov_to_trash function

from variety.

"Cannot delete
Deleting to trash failed because no suitable program is installed.
Please install gio (part of GLib), trash-cli, or konqueror. " notification pops up

from variety.

Can you attach ~/.config/variety/variety.log?

from variety.

variety.log

from variety.

To be more precise... Please try using the delete option and attach variety.log from that time you run Variety (I don't see anything related to Trash in the log you posted)

from variety.

What do you mean by not recognizing? What errors are you seeing?

i can run 'gio trash < filename > ' from terminal

from variety.

I can confirm this condition on Arch.
Only entry in log looks like:

ERROR: 2018-06-16 13:08:46,374: _go() 'Trash resulted in error code 1'

Yes, I got the same issue on my PC with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS version:
Deleting to trash failed because no suitable program is installed. Please install gio (part of GLib), trash-cli, or konqueror.

from variety.

Confirmed "Deleting to trash failed because no suitable program is installed." Also on Ubu 16.04.

I'm having the same problem... every time I try to delete a background using the tray icon menu I get this error.

"Deleting to trash failed because no suitable program is installed.
Please install gio (part of GLib), trash-cli, or konqueror."

Gio is installed and working fine from the command line, it just doesn't work with Variety.
I do not have trash-cli installed.
I do not have konqueror installed.
I am using Caja for my file manager, and moving files to the trash works fine from there.

This seemed to happen after running an update about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I also ran an apt-get autoremove after that update, which removed a LOT of packages, but didn't seem to have any negative effects on the system other than this problem with Variety. I'm assuming some dependency was broken via the update or autoremove process... or possibly permissions changed somehow on the wallpaper folder?

Here's my OS version info:
LSB Version: core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:core-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-amd64:security-9.20160110ubuntu0.2-noarch
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
Variety version : 0.6.9
Here is my Variety.log file:
variety.log

I have also noticed that since this problem started, that Variety is not auto-starting on boot up. Also, if I have Variety running, and put the machine in standby, Variety is no longer running when I wake up the machine.

We should do this directly via Gio rather than rely on external tools:
