I tried to update, but was unable to find a way as to sign the Nvidia Agreement. Below a (an incomplete!) record from the struggle:
It started with the usual message about available updates. The simple ‘click to execute’ did not work, as agreeing to the license
was not possible. Not being an expert, I tried YAST, that did not work either. Finally I resorted to the SuSE forums and found that
zypper would be the right way to go.
Upgrade via zypper started nicely, the I got
**"Vil du fortsette? [y/n/v/...? zeigt alle Optionen] (y)"**
Default and ‘y’ workd nicely albeit the message was tri-language
An then comes agreeing to the terms of the license agreement. Agreeing is single language then (plain Norwegian)
**Godkjenner du betingelsene i lisensavtalen? [ja/nei] (nei): **nei
‘nei’ (i.e. ‘no’) works, ‘ja’ (same in German and Norw.), ‘j’, ‘y’, ‘yes’ don’t
Another attempt yields text in German and Norwegian

Gesamtgröße des Downloads: 80,2 MiB. Bereits im Cache gespeichert: 0 B. Etter handlingen vil ytterligere 2,9 MiB bli tatt i bruk
And I got the standard question about agreeing a
**Godkjenner du betingelsene i lisensavtalen? [ja/nei] (nei): **q # my reply is simply the letter ‘q’
Ugyldig svar ‘q’. Angi ‘y’ for ‘ja’ eller ‘n’ for ‘nei’ hvis ingenting annet fungerer.
ja # my respons, crashing out
Then new attempt with success
**Godkjenner du betingelsene i lisensavtalen? [ja/nei] (nei): **q
: Ugyldig svar ‘q’. Angi ‘y’ for ‘ja’ eller ‘n’ for ‘nei’ hvis ingenting annet fungerer.
**[ja/nei] (nei): **y
This works !!!
I did not try ‘zypper up –auto-agree-with-licenses’ early in the process as I found the
exercise very interesting. However, agreeing with the license is supposedly no problem
if you are located in Europe, as a venue in the USA (Oklahoma or where-ever) is invalid
and other terms as well.
So much for a time-consuming exercise and for the benefit of the openSuSE community.
