Persistent LivePatch internal error

[yehudahecht]

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04. LivePatch informs me:

Canonical Livepatch has experienced an internal error. Please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Livepatch#CommonIssues for further information.

As per instructions I found here, I've disabled and re-enabled LivePatch with a fresh auth from Canonical. Yet the issue persists, and the error message remains. Does anyone know what else might be causing this?

In my case I was able to resolve the issue by checking the error logs using:

journalctl -f -t canonical-livepatch

and i found an error message about a lock file:

To override this warning, remove /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/common/locks/livepatch_Ubuntu_5_4_0_42_46_generic_70_70.3

I also ran the livepatch refresh manually from the console:

sudo canonical-livepatch refresh

Once I did all of that I was able to toggle off/on Livepatch from the Settings dialog and everything was working again.
