Bug Description

[Impact]
Some distributions ship software-properties-gtk but not gnome-control-center. Considering that Livepatch strictly depends on the online account panel in gnome-control-center we should not show the option to enable Livepatch if those distributions, otherwise enabling Livepatch will fail and it will seem buggy.

[Test Case]
1. Start xubuntu (Bionic)
2. Open software-properties-gtk
3. Go to "Updates" tab
4. Make sure no Livepatch UI is displayed

[Regression Potential]
Please make sure the Livepatch UI is correctly displayed in vanilla Bionic.

[Original Bug Report]

Unfortunately Livepatch strictly depends on the online account panel in gnome-control-center. We should hide the checkbutton in flavors (e.g. Xubuntu) that do not ship gnome-control-center and/or the online account panel.

Thanks, the debdiff was based on the bionic version and not the current SRU though so something to keep an eye on for next time

Hello Andrea, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-properties into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties/0.96.24.32.5 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!
