[02:02] <bryceh> teward, yeah that's not a bad idea.  I had considered if nginx is mre-worthy but they don't seem to put out a prolific enough number of point releases (historically just a couple until the next stable release typically), and point releases wouldn't carry major new features so mayn't address bugs like that
[02:03] <bryceh> teward, the server team also maintains a backports PPA of various server software we formally backport ourselves, which is another option
[10:28] <linuxperia> Hi all. I am having a problem with setting the minimal cpu freq speed in ubuntu. I was able to set the minimun scaling frequency to 2.5GHZ as seen here in this paste but somehow when i check the current frequency of the cpu cores it is always at minimum. Do i need somehting to restart so the changes are picked up or what else do i need to do so the cpu cores runs always with a set min frequency. Thanks in advance for the help.
[10:28] <linuxperia> Ahh yes here is the ouput of the set min scaling frequencys => https://pastes.io/drnwm4zlva
[18:54] <sethj> anyone know if the 50 ubuntu advantage/pro systems you get as an ubuntu member is still a thing? When I log into the Ubuntu One account associated with my launchpad I only see the 5 free personal tokens. 
[19:29] <sdeziel> sethj: IIRC, that's a UI bug only, you should be able to use more than the 5 free personal tokens

[20:19] <gildasio> Hi all, I would like some help. I'm studying some things and for that I'm compiling an Ubuntu kernel, but while installing the kernel I got a "/lib/modules ... No space left on device" error. Using `df -h` I found `copymods                           3.6G  3.6G     0 100% /usr/lib/modules` but I'm not familiar with this "copymods". How can I solve this? Resize the partition or what?
[20:26] <sethj> sdeziel, sarnold, thanks! That clears up my confusion. 
[20:28] <sarnold> gildasio: I think that's just part of building the initramfs to boot the system
[20:29] <sarnold> gildasio: yeah, grow whatever filesystem is full
[20:47] <gildasio> sarnold: thanks, but it's a default configuration? Because I can't find anything about this /usr/lib/modules partition
[20:48] <gildasio> also is there any other way to fix it? because it isn't a fresh installation so I think that resize the partition (it isn't a lvm) could go wrong
[20:48] <sarnold> gildasio: you can use df -h /usr/lib/modules or /lib/modules or whatever and it'll figure out what filesystem it is on
[20:52] <gildasio> sarnold: it is a copymods, that I failed in understand :/
[20:53] <sarnold> gildasio: I don't think copymods is necessarily the important part here -- it's just the tool that reported the full filesystem, no?
[20:56] <gildasio> sarnold: I'm not sure, look the `df -h` output: http://sprunge.us/hkFX0F
[20:57] <sarnold> gildasio: waaaaaaat. *now* I understand your confusion. :)
[20:57] <sarnold> thanks, sorry
[20:59] <sarnold> gildasio: my *guess* is that's a tmpfs (it's got the same size as the other tmpfs filesystems, and those default to something like half the RAM) -- you might be able to resize it, or mount your own there with a larger size?
[21:01] <gildasio> sarnold: sorry, I would like to explain it better
[21:01] <gildasio> sarnold: so copymods is just a tmpfs? so I can easily ummount it than mount using a larger file?
[21:03] <sarnold> gildasio: not really a 'file', it just uses some system memory as needed
[21:03] <sarnold> gildasio: but yeah, that's what that looks like
[21:07] <gildasio> sarnold: ummm gotcha, I'ĺl read about these type of filesystem and try it
[21:07] <gildasio> thanks very much! :)
[21:07] <sarnold> gildasio: sure thing :) thanks for perisisting :) hehe
[21:09] <sdeziel> gildasio: I think you can even live resize that tmpfs with `sudo mount -o remount,size=5G /usr/lib/modules`
[21:11] <sdeziel> confusingly, `/usr/lib/modules` is not a tmpfs of any kind here, it just resides in the rootfs
[21:16] <sarnold> *very* confusingly :) yes
[21:17] <sarnold> but i haven't compiled my own kernels in a decade or more
[21:18] <sdeziel> oh it could indeed be a temporary (unintended) tmpfs used to speedup the writing of .ko files ... man, 3.6G of .ko is a pretty big kernel ;)
[21:18] <JanC> seems dangerous to use a tmpfs for that...
[21:19] <JanC> if it needs that much space
[21:19] <sdeziel> yeah, that can push you into OOM territory 
[21:21] <sarnold> kernel build servers are usually not small machines :)
[21:22] <sdeziel> JanC: fortunately, tmpfs can be swapped out
[21:23] <JanC> that certainly won't make it faster though  :P
[22:30] <gildasio> JanC: agree, but to make it clear, it wasn't me that set it up this partition. At least not consciously
[22:31] <JanC> and to be clear also: it wasn't criticism of you, I understand it was decided by whomever set up that process and probably didn't expect it to need that much space  :)
[22:33] <gildasio> np :) I would like to know what happend to this partition been created so
[22:48] <sdeziel> gildasio: we (at least I ;) are not sure it is even a tmpfs. Were you able to remount it with a larger size? If so, that'd confirm its tmpfs-like behavior.
[22:54] <gildasio> sdeziel: I'll try the command you post, but after I try some other tests. Sorry the VM is busy now :P
[23:31] <gildasio> sdeziel: it works :)

[23:32] <gildasio> now trying to install compiled kernel as wanted before. Great, thanks you all!!
[23:32] <sdeziel> gildasio: good!
