** Description changed:
cookie_factory attempts to read data from /dev/random at boot, and
blocks until it has enough random data or timesout after 30 seconds.
How I can reproduce
1. Run the Unity8 greeter as a mir server
2. Reboot
Expected behavior: Greeter is displayed as mir && USC run happily
Actual behavior: Mir throws an exception after 30 seconds
- Work-around: Play with the trackpad at bootup to generate entropy.
+ Work-around:
+ Before logging in, move the mouse around lots, for at least 20 seconds. This
will populate the kernel entropy pool sufficiently to avoid the hang and crash.
** Also affects: unity-system-compositor (Ubuntu)
