To always show the file path in the Ubuntu file manager which is called Nautilus, do the following:

1. Open gconf-editor.  You can do this by opening a terminal and typing gconf-editor
2. Navigate to apps/metacity/nautilus/prefernces
3. Find the entry 'always_use_location_entry' and check the box next to it
4. Open your home directory or some other file manager (Nautilus) window and you should now be able to see the full location path
5. Close gconf-editor

That should now work
