I'm trying to enable canonical-livepatch on ubuntu server 16.04

sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
canonical-livepatch 7.24 from 'canonical' installed
sudo canonical-livepatch enable my_TOKEN_here
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /var/log /tmp/snap.rootfs_JVIDqo//var/log: Permission denied

and

canonical-livepatch status
canonical-livepatch: command not found

$ df -H

/dev/loop1      4.6M  4.6M     0 100% /snap/canonical-livepatch/26

I've checked this with no success.

I think it has something in common with mounting /tmp using this method to RAM and changed /var/log location with symlink to HDD like this

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec  8 14:17 /var/log -> /mnt/1TB/log/

  • Same here with Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-57-generic x86_64): 
    $ sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
error: cannot perform the following tasks:
- Run configure hook of "canonical-livepatch" snap if present (run hook "configure": cannot perform operation: mount --bind /snap/core/current//etc/nsswitch.conf /tmp/snap.rootfs_7khxxI/etc/nsswitch.conf: Permission denied)

Because mount --rbind doesn't work on links. Snap expects /var/log to be a directory.
