Nautilus and ctrl+f

[RJ Hythloday]

I installed nautilus at the recommendation that it has a search feature ctrl+f , But when I use it to try and search it comes back w/ an error that

The folder could not be displayed.

The name org.freedesktop.Tracker was not provided by any .service files

I tried to install w/ apt org.freedesktop.Tracker

bob@bob-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install org.freedesktop.Tracker
[sudo] password for bob:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package org.freedesktop.Tracker

tia for any help

Re: Nautilus and ctrl+f

hmmm... tracker is installed, but nautilus doesn't actually find anything.

It just instantly displays search results w/ no results.

atm I'm looking for firefox.exe I had it yesterday, but now I can't find where wine put it. Can't find wine either.

ok, found a tip to use ctrl+h to hide/unhide files, and I found wine in my home dir, also found firefox.exe.

Search still isn't working though.

Re: Nautilus and ctrl+f

Although I wonder why you need to install Nautilus just to have a Search function. Konqueror/KDE has one built-in (although Kubuntu changed that in the K Menu). In Konqueror, while viewing a directory, press Ctrl+F. Or press Alt+F2 and run "kfind".

Re: Nautilus and ctrl+f

This is on the kids machine running xubuntu. I had kubuntu on this one once upon a time, but after trying many distros and finally getting xubuntu stable I don't want to change this one any more.
