Created attachment 783857 [details] temporary fix for 0.44 After upgrading to linux kernel 5.18, the urandom service no longer saves any entropy when stopped (the created /var/lib/misc/random-seed file is empty). This is because the random pool size was reduced to 256 bits in 5.18 when the entropy collector method was changed, while the service script seems to assume the random pool size is always a multiple of 4096 bits. The problem is (perhaps incidentally) fixed in openrc-0.45 by using the new seedrng service on linux, which doesn't suffer from this problem. Until 0.45 can be stabilized, the attached patch be used to restore the previous functionality.
I suspect we'd probably prefer to get 0.45 fixed and unmasked but we'll see what William thinks. (Should be a quick job to fix 0.45, hopefully. Definitely deliberately fixed in 0.45, as zx2c4 was the person who did it.)
I don't think this fix for 0.44.x would qualify for fast stabilization, so you will be waiting 30 days for a new release to hit stable for either 0.44.x or 0.45.x. OpenRC 0.45.1 has been released and should resolve this issue.
