After updating Ubuntu packages today, I see a new livepatch indicator in the top-panel:

livepatch indicator

How can I hide it? I tried running sudo apt remove indicator-livepatch, but there's no such package. When I go to livepatch settings, I don't see an option to hide the indicator, just a button for sign-in.

From Ubuntu's Reddit:

  1. Run dconf-editor.
  2. Navigate to com > ubuntu > update-notifier.
  3. Set show-livepatch-status-icon to off.

Programmatically you can run this within terminal for an equal effect.

gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-notifier show-livepatch-status-icon false
