 Hello everyone,

 

   uname -r= B.11.11

   Error: Fatal: no entropy gathering module detected

   Please let me know how to resolve it.

   

   I have installed egd.pl. Perl is installed with SHA module.

   Process is running as root: /opt/perl_64/bin/perl -w
/usr/local/bin/egd.pl /home/rootg/.gnupg/entropy

   Ls -l /home/rootg/.gnupg/entropy:  srwxrwxrwx   1 root       sys
0 Apr 21 13:54 /home/rootg/.gnupg/entropy

 

   I am receiving following error:

   /usr/local/bin/gpg2  --gen-key


gpg: NOTE: old default options file `/home/rootg/.gnupg/options' ignored

gpg (GnuPG) 2.0.15; Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

 

Please select what kind of key you want:

Your selection? 2

DSA keys may be between 1024 and 3072 bits long.
