GDM delay before showing desktop [SOLVED]

#1 Post by Totoxa »

When I log in GDM screen is locked (all controls disabled) and it keeps waiting until I move the cursor.

After the desktop is shown journald shows the following:

Code: Select all

oct 13 14:41:23 debian systemd[1]: Started User Manager for UID 1000.
oct 13 14:41:29 debian systemd-timesyncd[682]: Synchronized to time server 200.189.40.8:123 (2.debian.pool.ntp.org).
oct 13 14:42:03 debian kernel: random: crng init done
oct 13 14:42:03 debian kernel: random: 7 urandom warning(s) missed due to ratelimiting
(I move the cursor at 14:42:03)

So I think the kernel is waiting for entropy, is there a way to avoid the necessity of me moving the cursor?
