<div>That did the trick to resolve the postgres error. I am only
running into problems with "update-java-alternatives -s
java-6-openjdk". when I run the command</div>

Hi Bravismore<br>
<br>
Change the ident's to md5's.<br>
I am not sure what ident auth is.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>

<div>I do hope I find you well.</div>

<div>I am having the following error the moment I try to go to the

everything works but am not prompted for a password pausing a security

<div>Do you know of any workaround for this?</div>
