When trying to browse to /proc file manager freezes

[joet12345]

then I have to restart xserver

@joet12345 - this occurs in ROX-Filer. I use emelfm which doesn't have this problem.
Other filemanagers may be ok too.
If you want to see what's inside /proc, can do so from a terminal thus: ls /proc
If you wanted to see (i.e.) what sound cards there are, in a terminal run: cat /proc/asound/cards

emelfm loads it with out even blinking

This bug is fixed in the woof-CE fork of ROX-Filer, https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/r ... ee728d5f2e.

This will get fixed in Fossapup64 if it ever gets rebuilt with latest woof-CE.

Freeze happens >>>>>when in Rox Filer> Options>show Thumbnails > enabled .
When disabled ......does not happen.

@dimkr Definitely works in Fossapup64-9.6-CE. I have 3 just made with woof-CE and all three open /proc in ROX with success

I have two different models of HP laptop running fossapup64, and they both suffer from this freeze. I tried backi's post of disabling thumbnails, restartedx even rebooting, still the freeze /proc. Today I notice in PPM rox-filler-JUN-x86_64. Can we just install this to update this broken rox?

thanks pete

No the PPM will not allow this install of the rox-JUN to happen, I tried it.

I fixed this problem on my old laptops by loading kernel 4.19.23. If you want to go this route
follow bigpups post here (viewtopic.php?p=28103#p28103) it was very easy.

hi @joet12345
this should be fixed now in 'quickpet' >> 'fossapup updates'

need to restart x afterwards

[bigpup]

The fix is working for me.
Used Quickpet->Info->Fossapup updates
Restarted X server.
Accessing /proc in Rox file manager, now working.
Made sure to update the Fossapup64save, with this change to Rox.
