Thank you, it will certainly motivate people to help you more when you provide good quality, clear images

Hello!
After carefully following the Help Manual instructions on how to do this, at the next reboot, booting stopped at this point:
"Starting Bridge socket events into upstart".
I had to restore from a backup to be able to boot again. This time, I skipped the log creation in rc.local, and it booted.
I thought I had typed all that verbatim, leaving out the partitions I didn't have. I only have one partition here, '/', to make things easier.
I'm not sure that the additional command in rc.local will work for me, but to reduce typos, can it be made to 'cut-and-paste'? I could then cut/paste it into a text editor to make my changes...

Code:sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda | grep "TRIM supported"
If it is, follow the guide in the Help ManualIf you don't Trim, your SSD life will be reduced, so it's a must do given their cost.
Type carefully in the fstab and always check with sudo mount -a before rebooting

Here's my rc.local:
Code:
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
LOG=/var/log/trim.log
echo “*** $(date -R) ***” >> $LOG
fstrim -v /boot >> $LOG
fstrim -v / >> $LOG
fstrim -v /home >> $LOG
fstrim -v /sparessd >> $LOG
echo " " >> $LOG
exit 0

Hello!
Thanks, Jerry. We'll give it another shot.
If it doesn't work for me again, it's no big deal. Redo and 25 minutes are all I need to be 'back on the air'. SSD + USB3 external HD = AWESOME!

The SSD Trim came up in one of my post's, can't find it.
Here's how I do trim on my SSD's, see the
"Using a daily cron job - recommended" method in this link
http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/enable-tr...rives.html
I read doing it in fstab causes a "trim" on each file delete, probably a bit excessive

To my eye, this is a better method, not least because it has a positive test that it is working. But I'm stuck in this line:
What is the equivalent of that in LL? Leafpad only creates a text file, rather than a script.
Thanks.
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/cron.daily/trim

Hi,
Use:
Leafpad is LL text editor
Use:
Code:
gksu leafpad /etc/cron.daily/trim

Ok, I think I have it now. Will check the log in a few days to verify.
Thanks much.
Thanks much.
