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] teward, the server team also maintains a backports PPA of various server software we formally backport ourselves, which is another option === shokohsc649 is now known as shokohsc64 === hsmiths1 is now known as hsmiths === shokohsc646 is now known as shokohsc64 === shokohsc647 is now known as shokohsc64 [10:28] 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] Ahh yes here is the ouput of the set min scaling frequencys => https://pastes.io/drnwm4zlva === jgee118692253454 is now known as jgee11869225345 === shokohsc643 is now known as shokohsc64 === chris15 is now known as chris14 [18:54] 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] sethj: IIRC, that's a UI bug only, you should be able to use more than the 5 free personal tokens [20:02] sethj: https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu.com/issues/12453 [20:02] -ubottu:#ubuntu-server- Issue 12453 in canonical/ubuntu.com "Free Pro personal token incorrect count for community members" [Open] [20:19] 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] sdeziel, sarnold, thanks! That clears up my confusion. [20:28] gildasio: I think that's just part of building the initramfs to boot the system [20:29] gildasio: yeah, grow whatever filesystem is full [20:47] sarnold: thanks, but it's a default configuration? Because I can't find anything about this /usr/lib/modules partition [20:48] 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] 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] sarnold: it is a copymods, that I failed in understand :/ [20:53] 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] sarnold: I'm not sure, look the `df -h` output: http://sprunge.us/hkFX0F [20:57] gildasio: waaaaaaat. *now* I understand your confusion. :) [20:57] thanks, sorry [20:59] 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] sarnold: sorry, I would like to explain it better [21:01] sarnold: so copymods is just a tmpfs? so I can easily ummount it than mount using a larger file? [21:03] gildasio: not really a 'file', it just uses some system memory as needed [21:03] gildasio: but yeah, that's what that looks like [21:07] sarnold: ummm gotcha, I'ĺl read about these type of filesystem and try it [21:07] thanks very much! :) [21:07] gildasio: sure thing :) thanks for perisisting :) hehe [21:09] gildasio: I think you can even live resize that tmpfs with `sudo mount -o remount,size=5G /usr/lib/modules` [21:11] confusingly, `/usr/lib/modules` is not a tmpfs of any kind here, it just resides in the rootfs [21:16] *very* confusingly :) yes [21:17] but i haven't compiled my own kernels in a decade or more [21:18] 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] seems dangerous to use a tmpfs for that... [21:19] if it needs that much space [21:19] yeah, that can push you into OOM territory [21:21] kernel build servers are usually not small machines :) [21:22] JanC: fortunately, tmpfs can be swapped out [21:23] that certainly won't make it faster though :P [22:30] JanC: agree, but to make it clear, it wasn't me that set it up this partition. At least not consciously [22:31] 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] np :) I would like to know what happend to this partition been created so [22:48] 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] sdeziel: I'll try the command you post, but after I try some other tests. Sorry the VM is busy now :P === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [23:31] sdeziel: it works :) [23:31] http://sprunge.us/Cn4czZ [23:32] now trying to install compiled kernel as wanted before. Great, thanks you all!! [23:32] gildasio: good!
