Thanks very much for the answer. I just checked again, this time with --verbose
and a reboot, as you suggest, and I got this:
kernel: 4.4.0-45.66-generic
running: true
livepatch:
state: nothing-to-apply
version: ""
fixes: ""
So, it does seem fine, except for the version again, which appears nowhere,
unlike everyother instance I managed to see, even yours. Are you sure this does
not pose a problem? It is strange, isn't it?
Regards,
Kall

Well if you reboot every day, then you boot the kernel which is fully
patched - with all security (not just severe ones) and bugfixes. Such
kernels are released at the same time as livepatches.
I.e. if one can afford reboots, one is fully up to date.
Plus this service is currently running for xenial only.
I don't like rebooting my desktop. Hence I have:
$ uptime
11:25:14 up 24 days, 7:20, 3 users, load average: 3.15, 2.50, 2.20
$ lsmod | grep live
kpatch_livepatch_Ubuntu_4_4_0_38_57_generic_13 49152 1
$ sudo canonical-livepatch status --verbose
client-version: "5"
machine-id: censored
machine-token: censored

boot-time: 2016-10-11T05:05:04+01:00
uptime: 583h20m17s

Maybe I should reboot into a newer kernel 38 -> 45. If you are running
45 kernel, I presume you wouldn't need any livepatches as everything
is rolled into the latest kernel update.
