I am randomly seeing the following error on my Ubuntu 18.04 server.



sudo apt update
[sudo] password for david:
Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Get:2 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [83.2 kB]
Get:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease [83.2 kB]
Get:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease [74.6 kB]
0% [1 InRelease gpgv 242 kB] [4 InRelease 2,281 B/74.6 kB 3%]terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
what(): random_device::__x86_rdrand(void)
Aborted


Sometimes a reboot solves the issue, sometimes not. Currently not. At one point it seemed to be related to urbackup, but stopping the service doesn't fix the problem today.

    That's interesting. I have disabled the "Execute Disable Bit" in the server BIOS and it works. Don't know if this is a permanent or temporary solution.
