ambiamber Posted October 2, 2022 Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) The official GitHub page for haveged says: Quote Starting from Linux kernel v5.4, the HAVEGED inspired algorithm has been included in the Linux kernel (see the LKML article and the Linux Kernel commit). Fedora and Arch both have a test for the kernel version in haveged.service: ConditionKernelVersion=<5.6 I put a complete example of haveged.service in this GitHub Gist for the convenience of anyone reading this post. https://gist.github.com/ambiamber/0d99cc5c8f79a72633acf39c443f5f2f I got here because on a fresh installation "systemctl status" showed "degraded" because haveged failed to start (which is correct because it shouldn't start).

ambiamber Posted October 3, 2022 Author Posted October 3, 2022 Either that or the base installation should not have the haveged package installed anymore, unless there are special cases where the kernel version is less than 5.6. 1
