I'm thinking of installing kernel 5.8 on my 20.04 build. Currently I'm running kernel 5.4. Does Canonical's Livepatch service support hwe kernel 5.8 on 20.04 LTS?

    In the Linked answer above the answers are incorrect. Even when they stated that HWE kernels are not supported the Livepatch site itself says that "generic and lowlatency GA kernels are supported". HWE is installed as a generic kernel, i.e. 5.8.0-43.49~20.04.1-generic, and is supported or livepatch would fail. So, the answers from the duplicate are incorrect. – Terrance Feb 15 '21 at 12:21

    In that case a corrected answr should posted there. – muru Feb 15 '21 at 15:42
  • @muru Fair enough. Wrote up an answer there. Do you know if I can recall my Reopen vote here? :) – Terrance Feb 15 '21 at 20:20
