The problem isn't linked to the kernel version : I tried older releases and I got exactly the same result. It's not linked either to the user. I tried several logid, including Root, that changed nothing. It looks like something does the accented letters : "à", "é", "è", "ç" in French (I made them here with "copy & paste", not the keyboard) were interpreted as a "break" order. Not reproducible here. Tested in VirtualBox (Mageia 6, kernel 4.14.78) with two DMs: - LightDM - SDDM letters à é è ç were typed into the login and password boxes without causing any problem. Maybe your login or password contains such letters and this causes the identification to fail? I don't really understand what you mean by saying "Mageia crashes and disconnects me". CC:

sebsweb Does the same problem exist when you try a text login in tty2 (after pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 to go there)? If text login works: Which Display Manager do you use? And can you attach last.txt that is the result of running: rpm -qa --last > last.txt (You only need to keep the lines about November 2018 in that file, so feel free to delete everything below that) CC:

marja11 Interesting, sounds like bug 18822 is making a comeback. It's supposed to have been fixed by sddm-0.14.0-11.mga6 (and it was definitely the case for me and many others back then), did we push an update that brought back the bug?

High Michel, can you confirm that you're using SDDM as desktop manager? If so, a temporary solution to make your system usable could be to change to a different desktop manager like LightDM (you can do this with `drakdm`, including from a text login like mentioned in comment 3 in case you can't log in at all with your current DM). I sent an answer but something got wrong and it does not seem to have been recorded. My Internet connection is not very stable to-day, it's not my day .. #discouraging At first, thanks a lot to all for your very quick answers ! When I said I'm (violently) disconnected, I meant everything explodes and I found myself with a black screen and only a login prompt telling me : " Mageia release 6 (Official) for x86_64 Kernel 4.14.78-desktop-1.mga6 On a 4-processors x86_64/tty1 localhost login: " I'm going to see what happens with a text login and I come back ASAP. I don't know exactly which desktop manager I use, my GUI is Xfce. OK, NO problem in text mode. In my lost post, I told you also that this bug looks like exactly the same as bug 18822 (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18822) (In reply to Michel AUTEM from comment #7) > OK, NO problem in text mode. Please boot normally again and when graphical mode fails again: * Log in in text mode * become root * and type: journalctl -ab > bootlog.txt If you don't know how to put it on a USB-key in text mode, then use e.g. a Live Xfce DVD, in Live mode,to fetch bootlog.txt from your installed home partition (in the "home/<your_username>/" directory on that partition) * attach bootlog.txt to this bug report. (If you didn't need to become root, because you had logged in as root, then the file will be on the installed root partition, in the "root/" directory) Created attachment 10483 [details]

(In reply to Michel AUTEM from comment #10) > Created attachment 10483 [details] > bootlog.txt > > bootlog.txt Thanks. You're using lightdm as display manager, maybe its maintainer understands what's going on. Assigning to him. Keywords:
NEEDINFO =>
(none) As I got no news about this bug, I solved tentatively my problem by changing LightDM for XDM. That works fine now and I will reverse when a corrective is available. Thanks. Hi Folks, I use now SDDM and it works fine also. LightDM is THE problem .. *No problem* anymore in Mageia 7.1 .. I close this thread. Status:
