By default, this feature is disabled when you installed Ubuntu. The location entry in nautilus lets you use the location box to go to a folder by typing it instead of using to mouse to open one folder at a time until you reach your destination.
This can come in handy if you need to quickly go to a particular location in nautilus without individually opening each folder. This brief tutorial is going to show you how to turn it on in Ubuntu 12.04.
