[ SOLVED ] Enabling TRIM on an SSD

[Kim100]

This procedure is not working for me, I get the following error message in the Terminal.

IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of ~/.config/ibus/bus is not root!


The fstab file contains only one [sda1] of my two partitions


# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=43e71665-c934-4f09-b4da-03626ab649bb /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1

My SSD drive is split into two partitions, sda1 contains the operating system and sda3 is my Storage. I have no Swap partition, on a previous installation Swap had been sda2.

IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of ~/.config/ibus/bus is not root! Has been put down to improper use of the of the Terminal Sudo commands but I am not a Terminal person, I have hardly used this feature, this is virtually a virgin installation. The fix on the Ubuntu forum is to delete the IBUS folder, something I am loath to do.

This installation is LL 3.8 upgraded from 3.6.

Any suggestions?

It would be nice if you would share your solution with the group for the benefit of those who follow - thanks.

Follow the manual.. As OP mentioned the part "Copy the text below and edit it to match your set up."Probably missed the match part

OP already mentionned the solution: It's some Liquid Dutch Courage! trollololo

Have successfully installed Linux Lite 3.6 on an SSD, so  looked in the Install Manual for 'Enabling TRIM on your SSD'.

There is a script highlighted in yellow included in the instructions and as a 'Linux Newby'  have to admit to not understanding some of the instructions:-

1) 'Copy the text below and edit it to match your set up'.   Which lines need to be edited and to what values?
2) '#By default this script does nothing.'  Puzzled by this line in the yellow box.

 So, to anyone who has successfully installed TRIM on LL, any help would be appreciated !!
 Thanks in anticipation,
 Alan

 Friday p.m - Just back from a pleasant liquid lunch. With a little Dutch Courage and perseverance I have managed to sort this out myself from the Install Guide without doing any damage.  TRIM now working !!
