LOL well it's a 2GHz Core Duo, so a bit slow by today's standards. But it's run TDE on Ubuntu for several years without this issue. It has to go back to its user very soon, though, so if I can't find a solution fast, it'll have to go back with XFCE rather than TDE.
I've tried several different 4.x & 5.x kernels, and switched from tdm back to lightdm, all with no change.
The problem task has a PID in the low 3-digits, so it's something that starts pretty early.
If you used the tde.pm I put on the TDE wiki [1], then re-run with this latest tde.pm from:
https://forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=606699&sid=34435dae1d1d3796b18... tde.pm_04.11.2020.xml
It helps with GUI running MX Tools. I tested it yesterday, but haven't done the doc updates yet.
Not that I think it'll help with the kworker though :(
For that try a full update (see next post from link above) and then reboot. (Not sure why but MX required two update cycles to get fully updated.)
Best, Michael
