Whenever I try to generate a gpg key through the system's GPG program, it asks for my name, email, and password then everything except for the GPG program's main window disappears.

Upon using gpg key-gen

gpg: can't open `/home/jesse/.gnupg/random_seed': Permission denied

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform

some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the

disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number

generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

gpg: WARNING: some OpenPGP programs can't handle a DSA key with this digest size

Not enough random bytes available.  Please do some other work to give

the OS a chance to collect more entropy! (Need 300 more bytes)
