Bug#926443: xfce4-session: eats more entropy at startup than available in the system
Package: xfce4-session
Version: 4.12.1-5
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
This can be observed predominantly on systems with autologin.
xfce will sit and wait sometimes up to 5 minutes until the
startup goes through.
The more the system is stripped down and optimized, the longer the
wait. stracing xfce4-session points the finger firmly at trying to
get more random data. Installing haveged fixes it - the boot becomes
nearly instantaneous instead of taking up to 5 minutes.
