I run ubuntu 10.04 and postgresql 8.4 just fine. Could you provide
more info on how you've instaled 8.4? Was it through a normal apt-get
install method? Or did you download some .deb packages somewhere and
dpkg install them? Or compile by hand and using the service scripts
that come with pgsql?

The more you tell us how you've done things, the more we can help.
