Re: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: An I/O error occured while sending to the backend - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

OK this is what I got after making the changes you suggested to me:
~
// __
 First I opened a window and run a little script in order to become the pguser:
~
#!/bin/bash

_G='web'
_PGDIR='/media/sda2/inst/sw/PG/8.3.1'
_USR='pgtest'

# creating pg user
groupadd $_G
adduser --quiet --home $_PGDIR --ingroup $_G --no-create-home
--disabled-password --disabled-login --shell "/bin/bash"  $_USR
xhost local:$_USR # if you want to run x apps such as konqueror
su $_USR
~
sh-3.1# sh ./pgtest_user.sh
Changing the user information for pgtest
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
        Full Name []:
        Room Number []:
        Work Phone []:
        Home Phone []:
        Other []:
Is the information correct? [y/N] y
non-network local connections being added to access control list
pgtest@Knoppix:/media/sda2/inst/sw/PG$
~
// __
 then I run the postmaster as pgtest user using another script and
tested that the table I set up was there (access was logged)
~
#!/bin/bash

_PGDATA='/media/sda2/inst/sw/PG/8.3.1/local/data'
_DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
_LOGFL='/media/sda2/inst/sw/PG/8.3.1/local/logs/'$_DATE'_pg8.3.1.log'

postmaster -D $_PGDATA > $_LOGFL 2>&1 &

 But then when I try my java code I get exactly the same error and
this is what gets logged

 Something I don't know about is this error:
~
pgtest@Knoppix:~/bin$ ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(),
pid = 3911, errno = 0
~
 but then I accessed my testdb.testtbl without any problems
~
 What exactly am I stumbling on? I wonder if knoppix is creating some problems
~
 How can I fix this problem?

 PS: Well, yes it should be Albrecht (like Duerer's and Gisselle's)
AlbreTch I mangled (lbrtchx) as a way to easily tell myself apart an
an online persona
