Boot into black screen with white mouse cursor.

GiDevEon

Hey fellas!
I just installed the latest Solus Plasma two days ago and yesterday it started to not boot to the desktop anymore. Since then all i get is a black screen with the white cursor. I'm running a Ryzen 5 5600g with 64gb ram on a ROG Strix B550-E. I would be extremely glad if somebody can enlighten me on what is going on here as I really liked that distro.

GiDevEon I notice that you haven't responded to nolan, but from what you are describing, it looks like you did a Solus Plasma installation, did the post-installation updates, used it for a day or two, and then something (we don't know what, because we don't have enough information) happened that borked the boot process. If you are dual-booting, you might be able to boot another OS and get at the Solus boot logs so that we will have more information. If you are not dual-booting, consider reinstalling from scratch.

nolan

is it a fresh install or is fully upgraded?

borked the boot process

Looks like the boot is fine though, they partially got to either the DM or the desktop.

Yup. I should have used "start-up logs" rather than "boot logs" so that the entire process from power up to desktop was covered. It looks like the error shows up right before the desktop is supposed to render. If @GiDevEon is able to get the logs, I'm hoping that you and others with more technical knowledge than I have will jump in, locate the error, and figure out how to deal with it.
