Re: role does not exist

Dpkg -l | grep postgresql shows
postgresql-9.1
postgresql-common
postgresql-client-common
postgresql-doc
postgresql-doc-9.1
Ps -ax | grep postgresql shows
Postgresql

I still get ' psql: FATAL: role "postgres" does not exist' when I execute
'sudo -u postgres psql'.

I just tested an install of Postgres on Ubuntu and sudo -u postgres psql
worked just fine.

Are you sure you installed all of the Postgres packages?
What does dpkg -l| grep postgresql show?
Is Postgres is running?
What does ps ax| grep postgresql show?
