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.

try added `pinentry-program /home/USER/.guix-profile/bin/pinentry-gtk-2`
to `~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf`
let me know if that works. I also encountered this.
