Created attachment 14437 [details]
output of journalctl -b | grep power

Since powerdevil and many more KDE packages were updated, my laptop is insanely switching between loading the battery and unloading at a very high pace. I loads stably before starting Mageia

After the update, I had:

[marja@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa | grep powerdevil
lib64powerdevilui5-5.27.9-1.mga10
lib64powerdevilconfigcommonprivate5-5.27.9-1.mga10
lib64powerdevilcore2-6.0.0-1.mga10
lib64powerdevilconfigcommonprivate6-6.0.0-1.mga10
powerdevil-6.0.0-1.mga10
[marja@localhost ~]$

There is no lib64powerdevilui6 available

After removing lib64powerdevilconfigcommonprivate5 and rebooting, the problem persisted.

In my journal logs, I see that org_kde_powerdevil crashed. I'll attach the output of "journalctl -b | grep power"

mrt 07 10:53:30 localhost org_kde_powerdevil[7962]: KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil

Never mind, now the problem already occurs when starting Grub2, so before starting Mageia. 

Nothing changed in /boot and /boot/grub2 since long before the recent KDE update.

So whatever causes this, it wasn't Mageia
