Error: unable to write 'random state'

Environment:  Ubuntu 15.10

Situation: Generating Open SSL keys

Error:
 unable to write 'random state'  

Analysis:

This happens due to .rnd file in home directory is owned by root rather than current user account. Giving permission to that file through user account, this can be resolve.

Solution:

Identify the current user
 echo $USER  

Give permissions
 sudo chown user:user ~/.rnd  

* Replace user with current user
