** 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: - 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. + Before logging in, move the mouse around lots, for at least 20 seconds. And after logging in, while you're looking at a black screen, move the mouse around furiously. This will populate the kernel entropy pool sufficiently to avoid the hang and crash.
