Canonical Livepatch internal error

All we need is an easy explanation of the problem, so here it is.

I’ve started seeing a livepatch warning in my system tray.

System tray icons.

Clicking it takes me the the livepatch client where I see this error message:

Canonical Livepatch has experienced an internal error. Please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Livepatch#CommonIssues for further information.

Despite the URL, there isn’t a #CommonIssues section on the page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Livepatch#CommonIssues

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
4.15.0-34-generic

  1. head to the Livepatch page and create an account. You can license up to 3 servers for free, so there is no cost unless you plan to mass deploy Livepatch. https://www.ubuntu.com/server/livepatch

  2. Once you’ve created an account it’s as simple as running the following commands:
