Every time I log in to my laptop remotely, I get a message telling me to restart immediately because Livepatch has patched vulnerabilities:

Welcome to Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.15.0-84-generic x86_64)
  • Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com
  • Management: https://landscape.canonical.com
  • Support: https://ubuntu.com/advantage

Expanded Security Maintenance for Applications is enabled.

0 updates can be applied immediately.

*** Livepatch has fixed kernel vulnerabilities. System restart recommended on the closest maintenance window ***

This is after I have restarted the machine.

How can I prevent this message from appearing every time on login?

I have followed the response given here to ensure all packages are updated: Livepatch Behaviour and restart in, but still get the message on remote login.

I am not running the latest version of the kernel as it causes issues with the graphics: Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS GUI does not work with 5.15.0-88-generic

EDIT: I also get the notification on login to the GUI that "Livepatch: An update has just been applied.", every time.

EDIT: I checked the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d, and have the following:

.@.:/etc/update-motd.d$ sudo /snap/bin/canonical-livepatch  refresh
[sudo] password for .:

I've solved the issue - booted the machine into the latest version of the kernel (now 5.15.0-89-generic), and logged in and updated to the latest packages via SSH (as the GUI is not working properly)
