Summary:
Package installation is damaging KDE desktop =>
Kate package "kate-17.12.2-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm" installation is damaging KDE desktop I can't imagine Kate stopping KDE from launching even if there are issues with Kate. You started from a fresh Mageia 6, maybe you somehow got only part of the packages from the Grand Update? https://blog.mageia.org/en/2018/05/10/the-grand-update-brace-yourselves/ Also note this post _if_ you have 32bit libraries: https://blog.mageia.org/en/2018/05/14/issues-with-the-grand-update/ To make sure you got all updates, please switch to a VT with Ctrl+Alt+F2, login as root and run: urpmi --auto-update and check whether you can then reboot into KDE/Plasma5 If there are still issues after reboot, then switch to tty2 again and, as root, run journalctl -ab > boot.log and attach boot.log to this bug report. Thanks :-) Source RPM:

kate-17.12.2-1.mga6.x86_64.rpm (In reply to Marja Van Waes from comment #1) Hi, thanks for the replay. I am far from being a Linux specialist, so I could not say what exactly is going on here. I just installed the package and as result KDE starting behaving wrong (application windows closed immediately after opening them, and when rebooting Plasma did not start anymore). I reinstalled Mageia, and to be sure I was not hallucinating, I repeated the install of Kate on the fresh system. Again I got the same story. I did not run the system update before installing the package, I just added FTP media and found the package on the list using rpmdrake. Maybe that's indeed the problem. I will try to run the --auto-update command asap and I will come back with more info later. Greetings! (In reply to Marja Van Waes from comment #1) Hi again! I tried the urpmi --auto-update command on the damaged system, but the update failed at some part and when rebooting even stranger things happened. I had no command line anymore because the system got sucked at some point waiting for something to happen. I waited 10 minutes but nothing happened, so I powered off and reinstalled Mageia. Since I could not run journalctl -ab > boot.log, I haven't much more to tell :| I will try the system Grand Update from zero, and hopefully I can install Kate by then. I hope I don't have to follow this procedure anymore. It is very painful. If this bug still affects you, I would suggest that you download a copy of the Mageia 6.1 Plasma LiveDVD iso, and install Plasma once more from there. I would recommend that you use a specific mirror for your updates, rather than MIRRORLIST. Sometimes, MIRRORLIST connects you with a mirror that doesn't update from Mageia as often as it might. Get the latest updates (there should not be TOO many), including the latest kernel, reboot into the new kernel, and then try installing kate once more. That SHOULD work. (It does for me.) CC:

andrewsfarm 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].
