Hi everyone,

believe it or not, up to now all my systems are running on 'classic' harddisks, up to today. However, I am planning an fresh install with an NVME disk (M2) on new hardware and a couple of upgrades from harddisk to SSD (SATA). All the hard disks in my systems are encrypted (LUKS + LVM), so I thought I would do the same with my SSD installs.

So I started to research the web on the topic. There is a lot of information available, and I have literally read tons and tons of it, but most of it seems to be outdated or is contradictory. The more I read the more I got confused, regarding aspects like wear-levelling, overprovisioning and TRIM. That's why I am asking for a little bit of advice from users with practical experience in installing Slackware on SSDs.

Here are some questions I am particularly interested in:

Overprovisioning
Does it make sense to leave some empty space in the partitioning scheme, additonal to what is built in anyway by the manufacturer? If so: how much?
While I found sources that highly recommend this, others say that it is totally unnecessary with 'modern' SSDs. Which is correct?
BTW, the oldest SSD I have here is from 2020, so they can all be considered reasonably 'modern', for that matter, I guess.

TRIM
How would I enable TRIM (discard) in /etc/mkinitrd? Is LUKSTRIM=yes sufficient? I am asking, because some of the sources I found say that TRIM must be enabled separately for LUKS and LVM, in order to make it work properly. LUKSTRIM seems to refer to LUKS only. What about LVM?

Swap partition?
Would you recommend to have a swap partition on an SSD, on a desktop PC or a laptop? I no: What about sleep mode and hibernation, where my laptop usually would save a RAM image on swap, and reload it into RAM on wake-up.

Offical documentation
Apart from arbitrary documentation I found on the internet, there is official documentation for Slackware, too. Unfortunately, it's either not very fresh or was written with only classic harddisks in mind.
Old, referring to Slackware 14.1: Installing Slackware 14.1 on a SSD drive
Written with mainly harddisks in mind, no mention of SSD or NVME: README_CRYPT.TXT
Are those instructions valid for installations on an SSD?

So, I'd appreciate if someone could provide some information of the current status, what's really necessary or recommended as well as possible caveats, when installing Slackware on an SSD.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi and thanks,

Ubuntu 22.04 with KDE Plasma. I installed 22 when it first came out then I had an AMD rx-580 and switched to a rtx 3060 then back to the AMD.

When I do 'apt update' I wind up with upgradeable packages that cannot be upgraded. Please see output 1.txt. Rrying to install steam and apt returns a "broken packages' message. See 2.txt. Trying to install one of the depends in the 'apt install steam' output suggested amdgpu lib packages. I typed 'apt list|grep lib.amdgpu' and got 3.txt. Then typeing 'apt list|grep focal' got 4.txt.

I'm not sure exactly what's going on nor how i did this but do you think there is any hope for this installation? Do you need more informaiton.

I have for the first time installed a Ubuntu system. I downloaded the image off the Ubuntu site and installed it OK.

Everything seemed to work OK until I tried the "man" command. then I get
Code: mike@ubuntu:~$ man ping
man: error while loading shared libraries: libmandb-2.10.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory For a start, the file exists, and it seems to have the same sort of file protections as my other linux system, and it's in the same sort of place.

Code: mike@ubuntu:~$ ls -al /usr/lib/man-db/libmandb-2.10.2.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 22448 Mar 17  2022 /usr/lib/man-db/libmandb-2.10.2.so
mike@ubuntu:~$ Reading up this people suggest LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but that seems OK too

Code: mike@ubuntu:~$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib/man-db I stuck /usr/lib/man-db on the end in the vain hope it would work, but it didn't.

Has anyone got any ideas what is going on ? Pretty much everything else seems to work.
