In Detail you can read here

1. Canonical Livepatch informs about internal error - what to do?

Note: Some people have found simply running sudo canonical-livepatch refresh solves the problem. Try that first and then, if the problem persists, follow the steps below.

This forum thread describes the same issue and says the solution is to use a new livepatch token:

1. disable the livepatch service sudo canonical-livepatch disable

2. get a new token from

3. enable the service with your new token sudo canonical-livepatch enable <your token>

4. restart livepatch service

   sudo systemctl restart snap.canonical-livepatch.canonical-livepatchd.service

1. head to the Livepatch page and create an account. You can license up to 3 servers for free, so there is no cost unless you plan to mass deploy Livepatch.

2. Once you've created an account it's as simple as running the following commands:

   sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
   sudo canonical-livepatch enable $your_token
