Kernel is not being updated/renewed anymore on the LTS release, what could be the issue?

I did use

Code:

sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

but it doesn't show anything new. Currently running 5.4.0-89-generic .

Yep, that is what it should be at. If you want a new kernel you can install the HWE version.

Even without hwe, you should be up to 5.4.0-96; have you rebooted since your upgrade? Otherwise you're still using the old kernel.

For further advice, please share output of:

Code:

apt policy linux-generic

If you mean you want newer version than 5.4.x, then you could install hwe or oem, i.e.:

Code:

sudo apt install linux-oem-20.04d

then reboot.
