Perhaps use an actually-tested image such as from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/current-hurd-i386/iso-cd

After seatch, I detected that /var/run/random-seed file don't exists.




I created this using





cat /dev/random > /var/run/random-seed





After this, I use





settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \
           --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast

To up the urandom translator.







After this, the problem feels solved

Hi all:

I've just to install Debian GNU/Hurd current in VirtualBox.During installation, It shows an error about random generator.

After install, I'm trying to install packages with apt, but It shows a Python error and don't continue. The error says that Python can get random numbers to initialize Python, and stop dpkg process.

The thing is: the random translator is supposed to be reading from
/var/spool/random-seed, not /var/run/random-seed (since the latter
doesn't survive reboots).

> settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \
> --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast

Again, rather make it use /var/spool/random-seed, otherwise the fix
won't survive a reboot.

Finnaly, by any reason, the /dev/random and /dev/urandom don't shows any new error, and start without problems.

I tried restart the server, but It says that the device or resource is busy.

How can I restart the server? I want to add the correct file in the server

Thanks
