The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 5725 Logged by: VMaury Email address: vmaur...@yahoo.fr PostgreSQL version: 8.4 Operating system: Ubuntu 10.10 Description: server couldn't start when installing on liveCD Details:
Hi, I tried to install postgresql-8.4 from sources on a Ubuntu 10.10 liveCD (in order to make a custom liveCD). I get an error during the installation process: [...] Configuring postgresql.conf to use port 5432... update-alternatives: using /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz to provide /usr/share/man/man1/postmaster.1.gz (postmaster.1.gz) in auto mode. * Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server * The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output. [fail] and the log shows: 2010-10-25 08:45:56 UTC LOG: database system was shut down at 2010-10-25 08:45:55 UTC 2010-10-25 08:45:56 UTC PANIC: could not open file "pg_xlog/000000010000000000000000" (log file 0, segment 0): Invalid argument 2010-10-25 08:45:56 UTC LOG: incomplete startup packet This bug has been reported by someone else (in spanish): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgresql-8.4/+bug/658857 However, this install works perfectly once Ubuntu is installed. Why is there a difference between install and live?
