Do you have a multi-desktop-environments install, or only Plasma?

If the latter, you'll be using sddm, else you might be using gdm or so.

Please boot again in multi-user text mode, by appending " 3" to the kernel options line for this install in the bootloader screen.

Log in, become root and run:

   journalctl -b -1 > log.txt

and attach log.txt to this bug report.

Hello, thanks for your attention.
I have successful login to my account but the flash in the login prompt are not solved and the login take a very long time.

I have the same problem with GDM and XDM as graphical login manager. Every login attempt fails. The login screen only works if I login as root.
I think this is the same bug so I write it here.

Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
