Dear All,
after updating to Centos6.4 via cr-repo, my laptop hangs on:
starting crond : ok
I booted in single user mode but I'm not sure what to change ....
The laptop is an older MSI, hardware details attached.
what could be the issue here?
greetings, J.

Solved after removing Elrepo-package kmod-nvidia. I had that installed for being able to use an external monitor.

Without posting any details like what version of the driver you are using, or a copy of your xorg.log file showing the errors it's impossible to say or do much other than guess at the problem.
However, I have done my best to test your scenario. The latest NVIDIA driver to support your hardware (from elrepo) is kmod-nvidia-304xx, the 304 series legacy driver (if you are unsure, trying installing and running nvidia-detect from elrepo which will advise you of the correct driver for your hardware).
I can tell you that this driver works fine with the 6.4 update. There was some doubt about whether older drivers would support 6.4 as Xorg received an ABI update to 13.1 in the 6.4 release which older display drivers might not support. However, I have confirmed that the 304.xx legacy drivers and the latest 310.xx series NVIDIA drivers both fully support the version of Xorg shipped with 6.4
So, my best guess is that you were maybe running an old version of the NVIDIA drivers and needed to update? But as I said above, without any further clues to work with I'm really guessing in the dark.

Hello,
thanks for looking in to this.
Indeed, I should have included xorg.log. It took me longer than it should have to realize it was a "graphical issue".
Not updating could be the issue, I installed kmod-nvidia but never ran an update with Elrepo repo enabled. I will test that and report back.
Greetings, J.

That indeed sounds like the issue. Try (re)installing the latest version that supports your hardware, kmod-nvidia-304xx:
yum install kmod-nvidia-304xx
and reboot.
Hope that helps.

I want to grab some sound bites out of several mp4 files, so I extracted the audio portion into wav files to make editing easier.
After trying several Google searches, it looks like audacity is the audio editor of choice, but I'm finding it very difficult to work with. Notably I am not able to make a selection with finer granularity than a full second.
Are there any simple audio file editors that you can recommend? I'd like to find something more intuitive than audacity, but am not having much luck with my searches using yum and google.

If you're only interested into cutting out part of the audio, ffmpeg can extract certain intervals and I think it has a finer granularity.

I don't understand,... I can select very fine-grained selections in Audacity. You probably need to zoom in on the track so you can position the cursor properly, but once you've done so, you can select very precisely.

Yes, that's what I expected. But even after zooming in with the zoom tool to where I see hundreths of a second, I still cannot select less than a full second at a time.

Nux, I was hoping to find a gui to do it all. For now I'll try using audacity to find the start/finish times and then ffmpeg to extract.

What I think you're saying is: if you place the cursor at a location that is, e.g., 1.43 seconds into the clip, right-click then drag (in either direction) until you've selected the part you want to cut, that Audacity moves the endpoints of you selection from where you put them to a whole-second point?
because that's exactly what I've done manay times and it highlights the part over which I've dragged the cursor, and I can cut it by simply hitting the DEL key.
Or are you trying to do it in some different way?
I've placed a screenshot in my web space at:
http://users.rcn.com/fredricksmith/Screenshot-korngold_01.png
of an Audacity session with a selected region that neither begins nor ends on a 1-second bounary. With that selected, I could hit the DEL key and poof! it goes away.
Note that at the bottom of the window it displays the begin and end points of the selection, so you can see what has been selected.
This is Audacity 1.3.12 Beta from the epel repository. Is that the one you're using?

I just wonder if this is an artifact from having started with an mp3 rather than a proper wave file? Just a thought. i.e. mp3 looses information compared to the 44KHz sample of most wav files, thus when it creates the reconstituted wav file it is not anywhere near the same, and thus probably interpolates much of the wav file.

I finally figured out what the problem was. I started audacity at the shell prompt with the name of my wav file as a parameter. After doing more searching, I found that audacity will not allow edits to an original file. So I started audacity without any parameters, opened the wav file, and saved it as a project. I was then able to edit it.
I just wish that audacity warned me that I was in readonly mode. Otherwise everything else about it was pretty intuitive. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Without posting any details like what version of the driver you are using, or a copy of your xorg.log file showing the errors it's impossible to say or do much other than guess at the problem.
However, I have done my best to test your scenario. The latest NVIDIA driver to support your hardware (from elrepo) is kmod-nvidia-304xx, the 304 series legacy driver (if you are unsure, trying installing and running nvidia-detect from elrepo which will advise you of the correct driver for your hardware).
I can tell you that this driver works fine with the 6.4 update.
