I installed 8.2 on ubuntu 6.10 using the backport a while ago. In pgadmin III I still can't connect to the server settings. When I open server status in pgadmin on the ubuntu box, it first messages me that server instrumentation functions are missing and then presents what may be a subset of the server status. The dialog is for 8.2, 8.1 is no longer installed. But everything I've read indicates that 8.2 should include what's needed. Using the synaptic manager I see that postgresql 8.2, -client-8.2, -client-common, -common, -contrib-8.2 are installed...is there one missing that would bring the extended server status functionality with it? novnov wrote: > > Thanks all of you.
