The symptoms may be the same, when those bugs were filed my plasma5 still worked fine, so this cannot be a duplicate of either one.

My problem dates from after the Plasma5 and KDE applications updates that neoclust started on January 13.

I installed all those updates this morning.

Resolution: DUPLICATE => (none)

Indeed, checking the date of the initial post should have let me seen that it might be related to something else.

Just to rule this out, what do you get for:
  rpm -qa | grep database-plugin
?

I can't boot into the cauldron partition at all atm, not even in RL3 or with an older kernel, there's an avalanche of repeated ata errors that's too fast to read.... it'll be hard to get information for a bug report :-(

However, from another partition I can mount the cauldron partitions.

grepping the update log from this morning, I see that
 lib64qt5-database-plugin-mysql-5.6.0-0.beta.7.mga6.x86_64.rpm and 
 lib64qt5-database-plugin-sqlite-5.6.0-0.beta.7.mga6.x86_64.rpm
were installed and the matching old versions removed:

Thanks, based on your update log it seems we can confirm that bug 17371 was fixed; but since you still can't boot, there is likely something else that goes wrong.

I wouldn't expect the fix for bug 17371 to be the cause of your issue, but that's still something to keep in mind while debugging further.

i don't think not being able to boot into cauldron at all now is related to my black plasma.
however, i do admit that i tried to start plasma immediately after the updates, without rebooting first

The HPLIP popup error is https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16946

Sorry :-[

I just wanted to run "journalctl --directory /CauldronRoot/var/log/journal/", because of that weird ata errors avalanche.

But, even if /CauldronRoot/var/ exists: there is nothing in it.

It seems very likely some files on the root partition affecting Plasma got corrupted, too.

closing as INVALID
