Remove editable address bar in Nautilus

  • 772

Ubuntu 11.10, Classic Gnome shell. Some time ago I set editable address in Nautilus using this way which was described at this question on SuperUser :

gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry true

Now I want to get default behavior back. I tried this:

gconftool-2 --type=Boolean --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/always_use_location_entry false

But it doesn't help. How do I get back to the default behavior?

nautilus

    Command line

    Just type the following in a terminal:

    gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry false

    Graphical

    To switch from the location bar to the path bar, you can use dconf-tools Install dconf-tools.

    To install dconf-tools, run the following command in a terminal:

    sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

    After installing it, search for dconf-tools in the dash and open it.

    From there, the setting is located at org -> gnome -> nautilus -> preferences. You need to disable always-use-location-entry to always use the path bar instead of the location bar.
