Downloading the fixed nautilus package from the ppa (nautilus_3.2.1-0ubuntu2~ppa1_amd64.deb package from https://launchpad.net/~bsantos/+archive/ppa/+build/2899624 ) appears to have fixed the problem in my installation (fresh install of 11.10, but with the home directory left intact from 11.04).
Hopefully this fix will be tested, confirmed, and included in the regular updates soon. This has been a particularly nasty regression. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879456 Title: Typeahead functionality for nautilus is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/879456/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
