+### Ubuntu Error: "unable to write 'random state" when generating CA password
+
+When running Algo, you received an error like this:
+
+```
+TASK [common : Generate password for the CA key] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
+fatal: [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "openssl rand -hex 16", "delta": "0:00:00.024776", "end": "2018-11-26 13:13:55.879921", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2018-11-26 13:13:55.855145", "stderr": "unable to write 'random state'", "stderr_lines": ["unable to write 'random state'"], "stdout": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "stdout_lines": ["xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]}
+```
+
+This happens when your user does not have ownership of the `$HOME/.rnd` file, which is a seed for randomization. To fix this issue, give your user ownership of the file with this command:
+
+```
+sudo chown $USER:$USER $HOME/.rnd
+```
+
+Now, run Algo again.

 ## Connection Problems
 
 Look here if you deployed an Algo server but now have a problem connecting to it with a client.
