Hello,
_OpenMandriva Lx version:_5.0
Desktop environment (KDE, LXQT…): Plasma
Description of the issue (screenshots if relevant):
I have downloaded and installed postgresql, postgresql-server, and postgresql-devel, but usually there is other setup like creating a password for user postgres or starting a postgresql background service, but I can’t find any instructions for that. At least, none that work.
Relevant informations (hardware involved, software version, logs or output…):
systemctl start postgresql. The user is already created with default settings (no password, but allowing access from localhost only - you can set a password from there).
Thank you for the quick response. I tried that, but it says Unit postgresql.service not found.
Ah, right, it’s because you’re on 5.0.
Try systemctl start postgresql16
We used to have a versioned systemd file here, but switched to unversioned because a user shouldn’t have to adapt scripts when we move to a newer version.
Thank you. That worked.
Please mark the thread solved. 
One more question. Do I need to setup a script in the startup so that happens every time I boot up? And, if so, how do I do that?
systemctl enable postgresql16
