Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 14.10 (and 15.04) both on the installation on my computer as well as on the LiveUSB, with the proprietary drivers installed for the wireless network card, the system crashes (freezes) when I try to access the content of the /proc directory using Nautilus, and I have to use the REISUB combination to reboot. The same issue doesn't occur using pcmanfm regardless if the proprietary drivers for the wireless network card are installed or not. To reproduce this problem, one has to install the proprietary drivers for the wireless network card and use nautilus at the same time. If the proprietary drivers for the wireless network card are uninstalled, the issue doesn't occur with nautilus. -Wireless network card: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] -Proprietary drivers: bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb -Laptop model: Sony VAIO - SVF1532X1EB
