Running Ubuntu 16.04 on a HP Pavilion laptop In following your tutorial “How to set Up an OpenVPN server on Ububtu 16.04” I got to step 4 “Build the Certificate Authority” and when I ran the ./build-ca command I got the following output:
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key …+++ …+++ unable to write ‘random state’ writing new private key to ‘ca.key’
As you can see it is telling me it can not write the random state. I want to know if I can ignore this message and continue or what I might try to fix it.
Any and all help is appreciated.
