Package: openvpn Version: 2.4.0-3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to start/control an OpenVPN tunnel through NetworkManager, and I ran into the following failure: Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt NetworkManager[1125]: <info> [1486848690.8671] device (tun0): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason 'connection-assumed') [10 20 41] Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: TCP/UDP: Preserving recently used remote address: [AF_INET6]2604:180:0:244::3:1194 Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: UDP link local: (not bound) Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: UDP link remote: [AF_INET6]2604:180:0:244::3:1194 Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: chroot to '/var/lib/openvpn/chroot' and cd to '/' succeeded Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: GID set to nm-openvpn Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: UID set to nm-openvpn Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: RAND_bytes() failed Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: Assertion failed at crypto.c:1780 (rand_bytes(output, len)) Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt nm-openvpn[3510]: Exiting due to fatal error Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt NetworkManager[1125]: <error> [1486848690.8778] platform-linux: do-add-ip4-route[5: 0.0.0.0/0 50]: failure 19 (Kein passendes Gerät gefunden) Feb 11 15:31:30 bolt NetworkManager[1125]: <warn> [1486848690.8779] default-route: failed to add default route 0.0.0.0/0 via 0.0.0.0 dev 5 metric 50 mss 0 src vpn with effective metric 50 Creating device nodes /var/lib/openvpn/chroot/dev/{u,}random fixed this problem.
