--- Comment #3 from Bjørn Lie
However for VM's and head-less systems without a hardware entropy generator it's a rather nice thing to have, hence it's a recommended package by the base system.
I noticed this problem on bare-metal modern hardware (i5 - 4th and 6th gen) it doesn't occur on kvm virtual machine as I experimented with this as well.
Haveged is not required on Fedora and Arch to run GNOME on the very same hardware, that's why I filled this bug.
Reproduce the hanging login and then in an TTY do: ## cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail ## If response is anything less than 100-200, you have a problem with entropy. In any case, still not a GNOME issue :-) It will be for the base-system or Kernel people to answer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
