Description of problem:
I don't remember when I updated cauldron last time, no earlier than three days ago, and I can't login anymore. I entered the correct user name and password and the login screen keeps returning. Then I noticed that no session is selected. So I selected KDE and still could not login. When I checked the session again, it was not selected even if I selected it before attempting to login.

How reproducible:
1. No session selected even if KDE should have been selected. 
2. Select the session (KDE in my case).
3. Attempt to login. Attempt fails even if the correct user name and password have been provided. 
4. Now check the session again. The session (KDE in my case) has been deselected, so, no session selected. This goes on endlessly.

Kde is not at fault, dbus is .
You should either update to the last dbus package or edit manually 
the file /etc/X11/xinit.d/30dbus
to have
# to be sourced
if [ -z "$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS" ]; then
  eval `/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax`
fi


instead of

# to be sourced
if [ -z \"" ]; then
  eval `/usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session --sh-syntax`
fi

Since you're using cauldron you should also subscribe to mageia dev mailing list :)

Thank you, John,

I updated dbus and it's fine now.

Cheers,
