Hi Jude, Hi all,
Thanks for your reply.. it’s really chicken and egg :)
Yes, I used the Ariel's ppa, and now I used the proposed command (sudo
add-apt-repository ppa:geonode/release).. After that I have to install the
package using these two commands, in order to complete the update.



sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install geonode

It's great to know that there is a script which allowed to buck up data..I
think that I have to copy the script to a text and run it form an Ubuntu
terminal like python code? Please could you confirm?

Concerning the error, I was agreeably surprised, this morning when I
restarted the server and all was ok.... will try to explore what happened
with postgresql.

Many thanks

Hicham,

RCDRR, Egypt
