Puppet Dashboard inventory search problems.

[llowder]

I'm using Dashboard 1.2.10 on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS system, and Puppet 2.7.19

When I do an inventory search, I get a blank screen.

In the logs, I found the following:

Processing NodesController#search (for X.X.X.X at 2012-10-05 08:44:57) [GET]
  Parameters: {"action"=>"search", "controller"=>"nodes", "search_params"=>[{"fact"=>"OSFamily", "comparator"=>"eq", "value"=>"Debian"}]}

Any ideas as to the cause?
