[Bug 558319] Re: postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu
I can confirm that postgresql-8.4 on a brand new install of lucid is not usable. Klas' fix above works, but it's not obvious from error messages, postgresql-specific ubuntu web pages, etc. that this is a required step. Further, removing the packages in an attempt to re- install yields an non-uninstallable postgresql-8.4 package. I think a large font-ed link to this page from the ubuntu-postgresql wiki page that says new postgres installations that fail to start on lucid, look HERE would be a huge timesaver until a better solution is found. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558319 Title: postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 558319] Re: postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu
I was using postgresql 8.3 on 9.10 but just upgraded to 10.04. In doing so, postgresql 8.3 stopped running and would not start. Installing package postgresql and postgresql-8.4 did not fix this, with no /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 package being installed. Looking at the file in the deb showed me a stock file without any code to cause postgresql to start. Reinstalling, removing and installing, these had no effect. -- postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 558319] Re: postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu
I got the same symptoms as described in the original report. I found that /etc/postgresql/8.4 was missing, but the script silently exists with status 0 if that directory is missing. The fix was to create the main cluster: pg_createcluster 8.4 main I suggest to either change the startup script such that a helpful message is shown if that directory is missing, or to include the createcluster call to the installation script. -- postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558319 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 558319] Re: postgresql wont start in Lucid kubuntu
I would like to recant my previous comment it helps to have the proper package installed... postgresql-server is depricated, postgresql-8.4 is the current package; however when you throw the -y flag on aptitude you don't always see the output when it says things like I didn't actually install postgresql for you.
