I have same problem, only with Postgresql 8.4... I get this problem when
I make any apt-get changes or even synaptic changes...
Here is more detailed output...
Setting up postgresql-common (129ubuntu1) ...
* Starting PostgreSQL 8.4 database server
* The PostgreSQL server failed to start. Please check the log output:
2013-03-20 10:47:48 CET FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid
argument
2013-03-20 10:47:48 CET DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001,
size=37879808, 03600).
2013-03-20 10:47:48 CET HINT: This error usually means that PostgreSQL's
request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter.
You can either reduce the request size or reconfigure the kernel with larger
SHMMAX. To reduce the request size (currently 37879808 bytes), reduce
PostgreSQL's shared_buffers parameter (currently 4096) and/or its
max_connections parameter (currently 103).
If the request size is already small, it's possible that it is less
than your kernel's SHMMIN parameter, in which case raising the request size or
reconfiguring SHMMIN is called for.
The PostgreSQL documentation contains more information about shared
memory configuration.
