I’ve noticed something in my machine when I started using the kernel 6.14. I don’t have the problem with the kernel 6.13 (which I am running now).
What I noticed is that constantly the CPU’s fan goes up, keep like that for a while and goes down. The whole process happens periodically and never stops.
Searching in the Internet, I found something that seems be the reason:
What’s keeping you from using the current LTS kernel 6.12? 6.13 is EOL and you should not use it (unless 6.12 doesn’t work for your hardware).
Removing/disabling snapd is also an option unless you’re actually use any snaps on your machine.
Please subscribe to notifications for the Stable Updates category. Every bundled Stable Update always comes with a dedicated announcement thread, in which the first post explains what’s new, and the second post contains a list of known problems and how to work around them.
Kernels going EOL are always referenced on said announcement threads. The Manjaro Settings Manager isn’t always up-to-date on such things.
Xfce is a desktop environment. It is completely unrelated to the kernel, or for that matter, to the Manjaro Settings Manager.
I am sorry, as I think I could not explain properly the issue. Let me try again…
But the way, thank you for the tip, but I am already following the stable updates announcements. I usually see there when a kernel is going EOL.
My comment was not about the relation between XFCE and the kernel, but the item “Kernel” within the “Manjaro Settings Manager” window. There one can see a list of kernels (installed or not) and on the right, a column showing “Installed” (and “Running”) in the row referring to each kernel. Some time ago that same column showed “EOL” in red(-ish) when a kernel was marked as EOL. I’ve noticed that such message is not appearing any more (like in the case of 6.13 kernel). Maybe it was decided by the Manjaro Team to stop that indication, but I don’t recall seeing any message about it. I am sorry if that is the case, and I am not aware of the change.
