journalctl logs

When a user has proprietary NVIDIA drivers installed, because zypper asks the user to read and accept the license every time they update the transactional-update service keeps silently failing.

In the journalctl logs I pasted you can even see the line where the service is forced to say no:

> May 06 00:58:25 localhost.localdomain transactional-update[32537]: Do you agree with the terms of the license? [yes/no] (no): no

Is there a way to make zypper only ask the user to agree to the license once when they install the drivers rather than also ask whenever the user updates them?

An issue for NVIDIA with their license

Aeon does automated updates, NVIDIA's license requires human interaction.

For anyone just trying to look for a quick and dirty fix you can get Zypper to autoaccept proprietary licenses by going to `/etc/zypp/zypper.conf`, setting
autoAgreeWithLicense = yes

and then running `sudo dracut -f`.
