Question, since I have to kill the update-notifier process to get rid of the Zombie Livepatch-Notif process does this mean that updates are not being automatically checked for and that I need to run 'apt update' manually periodically? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809505 Title: 'Livepatch-Notif' is always a zombie process after a system restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/1809505/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
