Enabling LIvePatch fails

[Jeremy Bícha]

I logged in with my Launchpad credentials to GNOME Settings > Online Accounts > Ubuntu Single Sign-On

I opened the Software & Updates app. I switched to the Updates tab and tried to enable Livepatch. I entered my sudo password when prompted.

After a few moments, I got a popup telling me that LivePatch couldn't be enabled.

Edit
----
It appears to have worked the second time I tried to enable it. Here's my status now:

It looks like a bug in canonical-livepatch client. The error message was: "2018/03/26 13:19:19 error executing enable: Connection to the daemon failed: Put http://127.0.0.1/enable?auth-token=<redacted> : dial unix /var/snap/canonical-livepatch/36/livepatchd-priv.sock: connect: no such file or directory"

For reference for the moment we are using the edge channel.

The snap with the fix has been released on the edge channel.

I have a similar problem, but not so sure it is the same. When I verify Livepatch status:
client-version: 9.4.8
architecture: x86_64
cpu-model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 v3 @ 2.40GHz
last-check: 2020-02-14T09:29:57-03:00
boot-time: 2020-02-14T07:29:23-03:00
uptime: 2h26m29s
status:

  running: true
  livepatch:
    checkState: checked
    patchState: nothing-to-apply
    version: ""
    fixes: ""

But in 'Software & Updates' Livepatch tab all I got is 'OFF', and I can't switch ON or click on it. It is written 'Livepatch requires an internet connection'. Is this a known bug to be ingnored, or something else that must be fixed?
