Like what aardvark told, I too have the same situation. At boot time I get the error, but if I later start the service manually (/etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start) the postgres db starts without errors.
For me it seems that when the postgres service is started at boot time, the shm parameters are different then after logging in. -- pgsql fails to start due to shared buffer setting greater than kernel allows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/264336 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
