Hello All, I'm struggling with testing OBS Appliances ( https://openqa.opensuse.org/group_overview/17 ) which uses gpg keygen during setup. Checking the appliance started with openQA QEMU_VIRTIO_RNG=1 options shows:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 16
while on o.o.o w/o QEMU_VIRTION_RNG entropy_avail is ~37
Googling about the topic suggests using dev/urandom, but it's not secure enough...

Any ideas?

Best regards
Hi Shyukri, in installation when we need good enough pool of entropy we use haveged service - http://www.issihosts.com/haveged/ Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
