Hey There, I have an Arch Linux box inside Virtualbox on a Mac that I use for development purposes. I connect to this machine via SSH without any visual interface. It's on [testing] and just upgraded to pacman 4.0 and after installation it asked me to run pacman-key --init to generate the necessary keys for my system. I did all of these inside GNU Screen (also tried without it without any luck): $ sudo pacman-key --init gpg: Generating pacman keychain master key... Not enough random bytes available. Please do some other work to give the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 300 more bytes) I pressed random bits with the keyboard but it didn't work so I fired up another window inside screen and did cat /dev/urandom > /dev/null but that also didn't work. So I found this [1] article and tried it again without any luck. So I'm basically stuck here. Can someone please help me? Since pacman is bricked, I can't also install anything. Now I have to manually downgrade pacman if I can't succeed. Thanks! [1] http://www.thingy-ma-jig.co.uk/blog/22-01-2010/generate-entropy-gnupg --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
