[Bug 1074966] [NEW] live usb boot hangs because of openssl error

[xapient]

Public bug reported:

ubiquity:
Installed: 2.12.16

Description:    Ubuntu 12.10
Release:        12.10


After creating an iso image with remastersys:
"sudo remastersys iso"
i created a bootable usb device with usb-creator


when booting the live system it stops with the following error message:
________________________
Could not create certificate. Openssl output was:
unable to load 'random state'
This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
with much random data.
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
Error Generating Key

3074275528:error:04081003:rsa routines:RSA_BUILTIN_KEYGEN:BN lib:rsa_gen.c:223:
_________________________
on some machines it just resumes booting.
on other machines it takes up to 5 minutes untill it resumes
it also seems to depend on the kind of usb thumbdrive i am using

i also had this error with ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04


another thing that maybe important is that i am running remastersys in a virtual machine in virtualbox
