When I log in with LightDM on my laptop running Debian Unstable, it recently started to hang for around 2 minutes until journalctl shows the message kernel: random: crng init done. When I press random keys on my keyboard while it hangs, it logs in faster (around 10 seconds). Before I didn't have this issue, is there any way I can fix it? Edit: using linux-image-4.15.0-3-amd64 instead of linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64 works, but I don't want to use an older kernel.
