Want to apply critical kernel security fixes without rebooting your system? The Canonical Livepatch Service for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS reduces planned or unplanned downtime while maintaining compliance and security.
I've started seeing a livepatch warning in my system tray.

Despite the URL, there isn't a #CommonIssues section on the page:…
Livepatch console reports that:
livepatch requires an internet connection
However, all connections (LAN/WAN) are operating normally, with the necessary ports on ufw open. This is a new install of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
What are your thoughts?
...when I run
sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
to install it, I get the error message "Snap not found." My architecture is 16.04 LTS (32-bit). Please advise.
Whenever I update manually under the final notice: "The software on this computer is up to date"
I see the message: "Tip: You can use Livepatch to keep your computer more secure..."
I do not use snap and do not want to install Livepatch.
How can I…

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with livepatch.
My computer often freezes for half an hour (or longer), at which point it seems swap and snapd are using all the cpu (quad-core) and ram (16 Gb).
When it starts responding again, there is a message…
This is the error message:

so lets say a livepatch comes in and my current running kernel gets patched, and I don't reboot the server because I don't need to any more. What happens if weeks/months/whatever down the line another livepatch comes in, and weeks later another,…
