Description of problem: After latest update the system boots 5-6 times and then it doesn't boot anymore. How reproducible: I made a clean install of Mageia 6 and loaded the newest updates. Not sure how often exactly it worked before the error occurs, but then it doesn't work anymore, no matter how often I try to boot. When I choose in grub2 the older Kernel it boots again.
Priority: Normal => High
you are probably hitting bug 23060. There is now a kernel-4.14.44-1 in updates_testing that should work better... Note that you need nonfree updates_testing enabled too in order to pull in the updated firmwares/microcode at the same time

Thanks I will try it later. But I found out that the system boots again when I insert a USB stick :)) ...strange!!

Please reproduce the failing boot and then boot with the inserted USB-stick and then run, as root: journalctl -b-1 > failed.txt and journalctl -b > with_USB.txt And attach those two files. (compress with xz if the files are too large to attach, e.g: xz failed.txt will give failed.txt.xz that's much smaller)

Of course, if you already found that kernel-4.14.44-1 fixes the problem, those logs are no longer needed!
I checked the testing sources but I can't update to kernel-4.14.44-1
Created attachment 10203 [details] package sources
Created attachment 10204 [details] failed boot For me it seems that this error report is NOT from the failed boot. I don't know if I did something wrong.
Created attachment 10205 [details] working boot (with inserted USB stick)
(In reply to Daniel Kalweit from comment #5) > I checked the testing sources but I can't update to kernel-4.14.44-1 Was it not found? kernel.org have been off syncing but is catching up now. Also, some other mirrors are syncing from it. You may find 4.14.44-1 in a few hours on your mirror. If that was the problem.

If that was the > problem. Yes, I checked "core updates testing", "nonfree updates testing" und "tainted updates testing" as you can see on the attached screenshot, but nothing was found.
The *testing have no checkmark in column "Aktualisieren" so the GUI tools will not look in them for updates. To put a checkmark there you could as root run # drakrpm-edit-media --expert - But you should anyway be able to find the kernels in drakrpm. Which mirror do you use? There is a status page showing which are up to date: http://mirrors.mageia.org/status It is not perfectly reliable as it only checks a file at the mirror, but gives a hint. Here you can see available mirrors and where they sync from: http://mirrors.mageia.org/ Also note: New kernel-4.14.44-2 came tonight, running it now :)

At the moment it works exclusively with 'GNOMEonXORG' and no proprietary nVidia driver. The default - after installing Mageia (Gnome) - is always GNOME (GDM). I had to switch to GNOMEonXorg before login.
Sorry, maybe I messed up some things... In the last sentence I meant that at the login screen you can choose which display-server you want to use for your session. The default option is GNOME (I think it uses Wayland) The second option is GNOMEonXorg and this is the only option that works for me. (I never tried IceWM)
I think you should ask about Wayland on the forum.

Did you indeed ask in the forums for help with the nVidia and the Wayland problems? They might need (or already have) separate bug reports. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 23060 ***
