I am having exactly the same problem as the original poster. The machine runs 64-bit ubuntu (Linux version 2.6.28-13-generic (bui...@yellow) (gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) ) #44- Ubuntu SMP Tue Jun 2 07:55:09 UTC 2009)
I don't have certtool installed on the machine (except the Sage version). While it hangs at the point "Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key..." I checked what was happening in another window: j...@selmer%ps aux | grep certtool sage 13068 0.0 0.0 4028 588 pts/7 S<+ 11:05 0:00 /bin/ sh -c certtool --generate-privkey --outfile /home/sage/.sage/dsage/ cacert.pem sage 13069 0.0 0.0 15960 1480 pts/7 S<+ 11:05 0:00 certtool --generate-privkey --outfile /home/sage/.sage/dsage/ cacert.pem Note that this is 25 minutes after starting to wait, and that certtool is doing nothing at all (S means Suspended, right?) I tried running the certtool command outside Sage (after doing "sage - sh"), namely certtool --generate-privkey --outfile /home/sage/.sage/dsage/ cacert.pem but the same happened, i.e. nothing and no return... Any ideas for how to sort this out would be welcome. And it would be nice to be able to test the correct running of certtool when Sage is built.
