Removing the Livepatch system tray panel indicator in Lubuntu 20.04

  • 772

I'm using LXQt in Lubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa.

I'd like to get rid of the Livepatch indicator, that's within the system tray that's on my panel (the tray is full of c*** I don't need anyway!)

I looked for answers here:

but the suggestions did not work, or were not about removing livepatch.

I don't mind disabling it completely, or just removing the icon. And it can be just for my user, or globally.

    I was able to remove the Livepatch system tray panel indicator in Lubuntu 20.04 disabling some options in autostart, similar to the comments of @guiverc to the original question. In lxqt configuration center, under session configuration options: autostart.

    I disabled:

    • upgNotifier: /usr/lib/lubuntu-update-notifier/lubuntu-upg-notifier.sh

    • Update notifier: update-notifier

    • Ubuntu report try to sends metrics data on release upgrade: /usr/bin/ubuntu-report send upgrade

  2. If I read you correctly, to disable "Livepatch (Canonical Livepatch Service)"

    ubuntu-advantage disable-livepatch -r

    this will Disable the Livepatch service. If the -r option is given, the canonical-livepatch snap will be removed after the service is disabled. Would have been easier/better if Dconf would have worked to hide the icon though. I don't use lubuntu sorry.

  3. Sorry about that: Will this work then:

    sudo canonical-livepatch disable

    Or

    sudo snap run canonical-livepatch disable

    I've used both with sucess
