Expand description

Canonical Livepatch status action (Ubuntu Pro).

Canonical Livepatch applies kernel security patches without a reboot. It requires:

  1. The canonical-livepatch binary (apt install canonical-livepatch).
  2. An Ubuntu Pro subscription and an attached Livepatch token.

If the binary is not installed, the OS returns “command not found” (exit code 127). The daemon surfaces this error to the user as-is; no special handling is needed.

§Risk classification

LivepatchStatus is read-only — Low / Observer.

Functions§

Show Canonical Livepatch status (sudo canonical-livepatch status --verbose).
