Firstly. I have fully read and understand all of the comments. However there is absolutely something wrong with the way entropy is captured for REMOTE sessions.
It asks me to do some work e.g. type on the keyboard. So I do so for literally about 5 minutes generating pages of text and it still looks like it has frozen. The only way to get it to work was to open another remote session and use that find command listed here. THE ISSUE IS AS FOLLOWS: - There is poor user interface guidance about what to do in particular for remote sessions. - It should provide some sort of progress indicator that you are (a) indeed generating bytes and (b) how far I have to go before it is finished. ** Changed in: gnupg (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/706011 Title: gpg --key-gen doesn't have enough entropy and rng-tools install/start fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnupg/+bug/706011/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
