Trash Icon not working properly

[marczuverink]

No right click empty.
Fedora 32
Gnome 3.36

You'll only see an Empty action in the menu if the trash has something in it.

Full Trash bin. Still no option to empty on right click.
Arch with GS 3.36.1

Are you using the 3.36 branch of dash to dock? Master doesn't work.

Are you using the 3.36 branch of dash to dock? Master doesn't work.

Yes, I am. With Gnome on X, not Wayland.

Same here, I noticed you get these warnings when you enable dash to dock

Executing sudo setcap -r /usr/bin/gnome-shell resolve the problem but it has to be done at every gnome-shell update

Same issue where the trash is not empty and get no option to empty trash. Installed via recommended https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/307/dash-to-dock/
GNOME version 3.36.3
Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS

Same problem on Fedora 32. sudo setcap -r /usr/bin/gnome-shell does temporarily address it.

Yes, sudo setcap -r /usr/bin/gnome-shell works for me too (Fedora 33). Without this, the trash icon is empty, even if it's full. A similar trash in this extension works without this trick, maybe it will help developers https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng
