Title:
  Impossible to set up Livepatch on Ubuntu MATE

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu MATEE 18.04, in the Software Properties window (available
  from Software Boutique > Preferences > Show Software Sources > Manage
  Repositories, among other places), there is a Livepatch tab. This tab
  says "To use Livepatch, you need to sign in" and provides a "Sign
  In..." button.

  This button launches an empty version of gnome-control-center with no
  icons in it.

  If one is technically adept, it is possible to do what (I think) that
  button is trying to do by launching g-c-c directly in a terminal and
  overriding the desktop, thus:

  env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gnome-control-center online-accounts

  This online accounts window permits attempting to add an Ubuntu One
  account. However, when one tries, a window pops up with a place to add
  one's Ubuntu One username and password, but the window has no Submit
  button; there is no way to actually initiate sign in.
