I installed a VM with FC12, and cannot reproduce your issue. I don't
launch pgadmin3 as root, but I don't think it can have that effect.
Perhaps there is something in your log files it doesn't like. Care to
share them with me?

Hi,

It's a late reply, sry about that.
pgAdmin stalls on me when i open the server status window, since i
installed the adminpack.
(pgAdmin version 1.12.2 on ubuntu 11.04)
It shows an error, which doesn't react to click events.
from the pgadmin log:
2011-09-21 11:14:16 ERROR  : ERROR:  could not read directory
"pg_log": No such file or directory
The applications then stalls.

Postgres in on a server running postgresql 8.4 on ubuntu lucid.
The adminpack is from tha package postgresql-contrib-8.4, probably
from the lucid-updates repository, the version is 8.4.8-0ubuntu0.10.04
topmost line is /* $PostgreSQL:
pgsql/contrib/adminpack/adminpack.sql.in,v 1.6 2007/11/13 04:24:27
momjian Exp $ */

So i made a symlink /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_log --> /var/log/postgresql/
Now pgAdmin doesn't stall anymore when i open the server status, but
the log windows shows a message:
"logging_collector not enabled or log_filename misconfigured"

I didn't change the default location of the logs.

Cheers,

WBL

The adminpack should only work if you use the logging_collector and the
default values for log_directory and log_filename. One of these is
probably wrongly configured.

the logging collector is off by default, yet the log is being collected.
this is on ubuntu server lucid (10.04, the current LTS version).

Maybe it would be a good idea to run show logging_collector
upon installing the adminpack, and raise a warning notice if it is 'off'.

too bad you can only use this feature with the logging_collector. I
won't change the logging now that i am content with it (apart from
reading it in pgAdmin), I think that many ubuntu users will feel the
same.
Also, pgAdmin crashes (no, stalls) on the deafult ubuntu server
configuration with the adminpack installed, unless you make the
symlink (which was an educated guess). I think that that should at
least be fixed.

Cheers,

WBL

I may be wrong there. I'll have to check when I find some time to work
on it... sigh...

Well, I can't complain. There are many things I would like to see
happening on the log files, but it sure won't be easy to fix.

I guess so. But we'll have to wait till I find time to install ubuntu on
a VM, and debug from it. Unless someone beats me to it.

It didn't happen to me.

Here is what I did:
* download ubuntu 11.04, 64 bits
* install it
* launch it, and connect it as single user
* sudo apt-get install aptitude
* sudo aptitude install postgresql-8.4 postgresql-client-8.4
* sudo aptitude install postgresql-contrib-8.4
* sudo aptitude install postgresql-server-dev-8.4 libpq-dev
* sudo aptitude install libwxgtk2.8-dbg libwxgtk2.8-dev
* sudo aptitude install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev
* download pgadmin3 1.14 source package
* tar xvfz Downloads.pgadmin3-1.14.0.tar.gz
* cd pgadmin3-1.14.0
* ./configure --enable-debug
* sudo make
* sudo make install
* vim /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/postgresql.conf listen_addresses = '*'
* vim /etc/postgresql/8.4/main/pg_hba.conf (change the authentification method to trust... yeah, I know, that's bad :)
)
* sudo /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
* psql -U postgres -f /usr/share/postgresql/8.4/contrib/adminpack.sql
postgres
* /usr/local/pgadmin3/bin/pgadmin3 * add new server * connection to new server * launch server status   ... and no
crash  ... just a single message telling me "could not read directory       pg_log"
