Had the same problem with shared memory issues. Noticed that postgresql would start from the command line after boot. Couldn't get sleep to work in the init script so fixed it this way instead (as root):
export EDITOR=nano crontab -e Added this the end of the file: @reboot /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.3 start Worked like a charm. -- package postgresql-8.3 8.3.5-0ubuntu8.10 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296598 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
