Kai, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455829 is the "better" bug to follow - I've triaged the LP bug as well as the other Mozilla bug to this one, as it contains the patch.
I also have no idea how to apply the patch. Initial chats w/people in #ubuntu-mozillateam (irc.freenode.net) seem to think that even getting it into Intrepid might be an issue. "we could take it in nspr, but it's a bit late in this cycle.. and we have the de-sonamization still under discussion blocking both nspr and nss". I have a hack-ish "fix" that we can test out with, here: http://logicalnetworking.net/other/urandomize.tar.bz2 This was created by someone in mozilla IRC during a conversation I had with him - it basically, IIRC, passes all requests to /dev/random along to /dev/urandom instead. I tested it out myself and it worked, but I didn't test it on a full lab where the issue was occuring. If we get enough people to do this, at least, we can prove that /dev/random and entropy running out is the core issue, and then we can push further. Help greatly appreciated with the testing here - we need as much ammo as we can get if we are going to propose putting this into hardy-updates. - Jordan Kai Wollweber wrote: > Hello Jordan! > > >> We might have had the wrong idea about fsync - now there is a >> possibility it could be related to /dev/random and entropy_avail.
