I tried installing and using the Canonical Livepatch service, but after installing the snap, I am unable to proceed with the next step:



sudo canonical-livepatch enable ID


After running this command I get the following error:



error executing enable: Livepatchd error: Error checking platform: open /etc/lsb-release: permission denied


I am running Pop!_OS 18.04 LTS with kernel version Linux pop-os 4.13.0-38-generic.



It seems like the root privileges are failing to take effect when running that command. Not sure if I'm supposed to change the permissions of lsb-release (seems like a bad idea).




permissions 18.04 canonical-livepatch

          Pop!_OS is not Ubuntu. Nothing I've been able to find indicates that Canonical supports Pop!_OS via the livepatch service. To the best of my knowledge livepatch is only supported on LTS versions of Ubuntu 14.04, and 16.04. I would think support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS would be added but I can't currently confirm that. More information on Canonical Livepatch service can be found here.

          • I guess that's true. I was just hoping they were similar enough that it would work. Thanks!

          What makes Checkinstall packages not suitable for distribution?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am planning to have multiple servers running with the same packages. And as a solution to not compile packages individually on each server, I want to use checkinstall to generate .deb and then distribute it via private repository. However, in the linked guide it says that it is not designed to produce packages suitable for distribution My questions are: What is different about this packaging, that makes it not suitable for distribution? Or what should be in the package, to make it suitable? Could there be any issues with using checkinstall and distributing packages to ~20 servers? Any advice or links where I can find out more appreciated. Thanks! apt package-management packaging checkinstall share | improve this question asked Feb 6 at 13:56 Ilya 123 5 add a comment  |  up vote 2 down vote favorite I am planning to have multiple servers runni...
