Thanks for your report. This error indicates that you need to tune you kernel's settings. It is not an error with postgresql and I'm closing this report. However, if you're able to reproduce it from a fresh Ubuntu installation (whole system) then don't hesitate to reopen this report and provide the recipe to reproduce it.
