I had used sudo before, but now it works. 
The /boot/efi: partition gives 504.9MiB trimmed, every time.
/media/laptop:, the backup location for laptop files, started at 36.9
GiB, and dropped at the next run to 0,
/: started at 361.3 GiB, then 205.4, then wandered about up and down
and never settled.
But at least fstrim is working. That will certainly be used on the
laptop!
