In Kali I had to install haveged by default due to this problem.
We got reports of having to wait up to 5 minutes to get to their desktop.
We got reports of sshd not working on first boot (in fact just taking too

I haven't looked, but it seems likely that thin.service is trying to
generate some keys on initial startup. Which explains why it gets stalled.
