[13:44] <frickler> klebers: do you have some more reference regarding the issue found with 4.15? I have some recently installed xenial machines running with it and would like to assess whether it would be better to downgrade
[13:48] <klebers> frickler, we are not sure exactly when we are going to -updates the fix for the random number generator, probably during the next couple of weeks. In the meantime you can either downgrade it or install the kernel from -proposed (which is not guaranteed yet to be completely stable)
[13:49] <frickler> klebers: is there a bug tracking "fix for the random number generator"?

[13:54] <frickler> klebers: great, thanks. so iiuc once the machine has haveged running, there should be no further issue
[13:57] <klebers> frickler, sure! yeah, it seems it works around the issue for most users
[14:00] <frickler> klebers: o.k., I was just worried that there might be some security related issue when running with that kernel. so I guess in my case just keeping the servers running until there is a newer version in -updates seems fine
[14:25] <bluj> hello. i'm rebuilding a ubuntu kernel via instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel . one of the things it mentions to do is to change the version string in debian.master/changelog so i can tell i'm running the intended kernel etc.  this is not taking effect though- my resultant .deb's just have the version without my appended string. anyone know why?
