License Information
screen appears on every reboot. - After upgrading the system to RHEL 8.2 using the
Leapp
upgrade, theLicense Information
screen appears on every reboot.
Resolution
Update to leapp-0.11.1-1.el7_9
shipped with Advisory RHBA-2020:4882 or newer.
In case older version of leapp
was used for in-place upgrade, manually disable the below services:
# systemctl disable initial-setup.service
# systemctl disable initial-setup-reconfiguration.service
# systemctl disable initial-setup-text.service

- Previously, the
License Information
page appeared the first time after OS installation. The serviceinitial-setup.service
