I have the same problem with 'gpg2 --full-gen-key' (with all default options) hanging indefinitely on Xubuntu 16.04.1.
In another terminal I'm running 'cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail' on a loop every 5 seconds, and the available entropy value never gets below about 2900, and gets up to about 3100. So how much entropy does this thing need? I've tried running all of the other suggestions, with no success. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
