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!

          How to enroll fingerprints to Ubuntu 17.10 with VFS491

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 1 down vote favorite I decided to switch from Windows to Ubuntu 17.10, I meet it like 8 years ago and I didn't decided to switch until now (haha). Well, my actual device is an HP Probook 4540s with a Validity fingerprint sensor (VFS491). The fingerprint sensor worked fine on Windows but I can't get it to work in Ubuntu. The device is recognized as 138a:003d but is not detected as a fingerprint scanner by some apps like Fingerprint GUI. I want to use the fingerprint scanner to log in into my user account in Ubuntu but it doesn't supports fingerprints without special software and the drivers of the fingerprint scanner are available for Windows but not for any Linux distribution. I found something on GitHub (https://github.com/eekpie/libfprint) about the integration of the VFS491 in libfprint and I think it can help but I don't know what to do with it, so that's why I need the help of the community to do it since I am...
