This was also in the Desknow web page. changing these parameters will probably cause postgres to not start. su - postgres pg_ctl -D /var/lib/pgsql/data start ( I actualy left the path off ) in the message it says you need to increase SHMMAX to a certain number.
To do this you must be root echo <shared_buffers * 8192> /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax to make it permanent edit /etc/sysctl.conf kernel.shmmax = <shared_buffers * 8192> example shared_buffers = 20000 it is 167763968 (160mb).
