Autoagreelicenses on MicroOS update not working

English Applications

OS: TW MicroOS

I created file at:

cat /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.d/AgreeLicenses.conf 
autoAgreeWithLicenses = yes

Results:

sudo journalctl -xeu transactional-update.service
...
Continue? [y/n/v/...? shows all options] (y): y

Did some search online and found only questions but no real answers, like there’s no fix to this? Should I edit the transactional-update.service itself (adding “–auto-agree-with-licenses” argument to the exec line?

@moshpuke Hi, it doesn’t look there, use a /etc/transactional-update.conf file instead.

Ref: https://manpages.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed/transactional-update/transactional-update.conf.5.en.html

Note /etc/transactional-update.conf takes precedence.

Thanks for the link. I did not find /etc/transactional-update.conf on the system so it must be created.

A reference file (also used for reading the default values) can be found in /usr/etc/transactional-update.conf. Additionally packages may overwrite these default values by putting files into /usr/etc/transactional-update.conf.d/; files in that directory will be read alphabetically, assignments in later files will overwrite previous assignments. Admin settings in /etc/transactional-update.conf will have the highest precedence.

This is actually quite confusing to me. Normally one should put custom conf under “conf.d” folders, but it seems not the case for microOS?
I have put the autoAgreeWithLicenses = yesinside /etc/transactional-update.conffor now and will see.

Well, no. Use “conf.d” for config snippets that would otherwise go in “zypp.conf”. However, " autoAgreeWithLicenses" setting belongs in “zypper.conf” and not in “zypp.conf”.

Thanks. I now see zypper.conf alongside zypp.conf. In zypper.conf there’s indeed this option available already. Will try this one and see.

I have put the autoAgreeWithLicenses = yes inside /etc/transactional-update.conf for now and will see.

This is wrong and get returned in log:
“/etc/transactional-update.conf: line 1: autoAgreeWithLicenses: command not found”

It shouldn’t be any different on MicroOS than it is on Kalpa:

sudo sed -i 's/# autoAgreeWithLicenses = no/autoAgreeWithLicenses = yes/' /etc/zypp/zypper.conf

This doesn’t get set in /etc/transactional-update.conf transactional-update doesn’t know squat about licenses, packages or anything else. It’s just calling zypper for those transactions.
