Livepatch

Canonical Livepatch automatically updates some parts of the kernel without rebooting.

Log into https://ubuntu.com/livepatch and get the id number. On the machine,

sudo snap install canonical-livepatch
sudo canonical-livepatch enable <NUMBER>
canonical-livepatch status --verbose

We don’t do this on chell because we reboot the thing all the time anyway.
