Strange difference in kernel versions reported

[teimuraz1962]

Hi everybody
Actually it’s not a problem, so probably I’m posting at wrong place.
I’ve made an update today, everything went OK (I’m updating from cli with pacman).
But the I desided to check installed and available kernel versions.
BTW I haven’t restart yet after update.

$ uname -a
Linux temo-z230 6.7.4-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Feb 10 09:41:20 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So 6.7.4-2 is running

Now lets’s check from Manjaro Settings Manager/kernel (sorry, I have no idea how to do it from console):

As we can see, it sais that 6.7.7 is running and my existing version (6.7.4) is not mentioned at all!

I think this is mistake.

Sincerely
Teimuraz Abashidze

Well try doing that.

I see the confusion here. Kernels have major, minor, and patch versions. It is only looking at major and minor, so the first two numbers of the version.

You have 6.7.4 installed, that’s why it’s listed as installed.

This is always the correct version

uname -r

It is indeed a mistake to not reboot after update
The gui is reporting the new version on the disk, but you are running the older version from memory.

Simple as.
You need to reboot.

The entry tracks linux67, it says that linux67 is installed and running. It also tells you the latest version.

It does seem a bit misleading, something like this would be more accurate.

Linux 6.7.7-1            Running:   6.7.4-2 (removed)
linux67                  Installed: 6.7.7-1 

But after a reboot, you have 6.7.7-1 repeated 3 times.
