cannot generate enough entropy for pacman-key --init
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):
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.
