System freezes when entering "/proc'

**DGINSD** · December 17th, 2014

This is really driving me crazy, if I pull up nautilus and navigate to /proc, my system will completely freeze up. The only way to get out seems to be to SysReq RSEINUB. This happens even if I gksudo nautilus, I even created another user and I get the same thing. If I open up a shell and navigate there; no problems, same with using MC; no problem. I reinstalled nautilus and reinstalled the kernel; no dice. I don't even know what to provide as clues, as I cant find anything that seems significant in the logs, I really don't want to reinstall the whole system but I'm at an end here? Any help or sugestions appreciated.

So I purposely entered /proc using Nautilus last night so I could look through the logs before the crash. I did see this was a bit interesting the system crashed almose exactly at 9:00pm on the 17th but as soon as I started the recovery (SysReq RSEINUB) the times in the logs got all screwy, jumped forward about 8 hours, for the record I recovered the system no more than 5 min. after the crash.

Heres the break in time this is a piece of syslog, this line in the log was blank.

I also installed another gui file manager (dolphin) to see if the problem happened with another program. Dolphin worked just fine I could navigate to /proc without the system crashing, this would leave me to believe the problem lay with Nautilus, but I've already tried removing and re-installing. is there another way to say reset Nautilus?

maybe a filename error somewhere in /proc.
Let's see..

Code:

 ls -lah /proc

Ok heres the output of ls -lah /proc, didn't see anything odd but not really sure what it should look like.

Code:

@HP-G6:~$ ls -lah /proctotal 4.0K

Hhmm...similar to mine nothing.. nothing out of the ordinary. and it's really puzzling that it only happens on nautilus and not on other file managers.

**DGINSD** · December 19th, 2014

Yeah it seemed OK to me as well, I actually installed a patched version of nemo this morning, and navigating to /proc did cause a freeze, so it's something to do with the base functionality of Nautilus. I'm going to try purging and reinstalling Nautilus Nemo and their dependencies tonight and see if that fixes it beyond that looks like a reinstall. This has got to be the strangest problem I've ever encountered since using Ubuntu.
