Bug#899271: xfce4-terminal hangs in getrandom if crng not ready
What in heaven's name is a terminal emulator doing in getrandom?
Indeed. It seems that gnutls_rnd is called when creating a
VteFileStream. I added a gdb backtrace to the bug report.
Have
you tried with a different terminal? There seem to be several in
XFCE4.
My fallback terminal is good old xterm. With tiny fonts, xterm is
especially useful for those occasions when I just have to have 16
terminals on the screen at once.
Kind regards,
