Description Julien Mijnders 2023-02-13 00:32:41 UTC
Description:
When typing "libreoffice" in Konsole to launch libreoffice, I get this output:
WARNING: CPU random generator seem to be failing, disabling hardware random number generation
WARNING: RDRND generated: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff
I know this is a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU Issue.
Rdrand -> the HWRNG (hardware random number generator in the CPU is spitting constant values not random ones. Could this please be fixed for just this CPU's it is just annoying to deal with it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. You must have the rdrand bug in the AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
2. Type libreoffice in any kind of command prompt
3. Output will spit out the rdrand issue.

Actual Results:
WARNING: CPU random generator seem to be failing, disabling hardware random number generation
WARNING: RDRND generated: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff

Expected Results:
No issues, also just no warning about the rdrand issue. YES rdrand is supposed to make the system safer, but for these cpu's well, it doesn't. And I also don't need a constant reminder that my cpu has in fact a bug.


Reproducible: Always

Additional Info:
OS: Fedora Linux 37 (KDE Plasma) x86_64

I don't see that those messages are generated by LibreOffice itself. I'm sure there are ways you can suppress console messages at the operating system level. Closing.
