If you have a new install then you are using 9.1 postgresql since that
is what was on my 12.1 64 bit iso.
I installed using Gnome with no KDE so I can't comment on what happens
in KDE. I'm sure that dbus was broken in my upgrade, could not get
pulseaudio to work correctly, and several other things so went back to
11.4. I did not get the chance to see if pgadmin worked in 12.1 since it
refused to do anything once it found I had a 9.0 data backend.
If pgamin looks strange then might be better off using a standard backup
restore procedure:
