Hi. Thanks for this. Mind explaining what the issue is and what it's doing? It looks like you're un-commenting the HRNGDEVICE line and changing it to /dev/urandom in /etc/default/rng-tools. I'd like to add an explanation of why this is necessary... 

sed -i 's/#HRNGDEVICE='/'dev'/'null'/'HRNGDEVICE='/'dev'/'urandom/' /etc/default/rng-tools
