Public bug reported:
I installed Postgresql 8.3 using Synaptic Package Manager on a fresh
install of Ubuntu 8.04 (64-bit version) However, the Postgresql service
doesn't appear to start correctly. I receive the following log
messages:
2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST LOG: could not load root certificate file "root.crt":
no SSL error reported
2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST DETAIL: Will not verify client certificates.
2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST FATAL: could not create shared memory segment: Invalid
argument
2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST DETAIL: Failed system call was shmget(key=5432001,
size=39288832, 03600).
2008-05-27 02:32:40 BST 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 39288832 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.

I can't find anyone else reporting this so I'm not sure what exactly is
wrong here.
The exact package names are:
postgresql-8.3
postgresql-8.3-slony1
postgresql-autodoc
postgresql-client
postgresql-client-8.3
postgresql-client-common
postgresql-common
postgresql-contrib
postgresql-contrib-8.3
postgresql-doc
postgresql-doc-8.3
