As the title reads, I am a lil new to Ubuntu distros and the Linux merge from Windows...I apologize for putting this in the wrong place if I have done so...

though I have a problem and i have looked through the bugs reported for my distro and have not found it nor a solution.

I try to type in any search bar such as Youtube or wherever and it freezes or just will not accept what I would like to type. I have contacted Google and Youtube about this issue and they say look in extensions and find this or that...but nothing is enabled that should not be enabled.

This took place after upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 in the past day. Very annoying .. can anyone help me or send me to the right location that this needs to be in? thanks in advance.
