    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Brian,<br>
      I downloaded the sample data and imported to my database and it
      seems to work pretty well. I'm using QGIS 1.8, postgis 2.0,
      postgres 9.1.5, gdal 1.9.1 on ubuntu 12.04.<br>
      <br>
      Sorry for my ignorance but what GDAL version is being released
      with linux mint? I couldn't find anywhere online.<br>
      <br>
      The plugin heavily relies on GDAL to perform the visualization so
      you need the latest GDAL available to get a decent performance.<br>
      <br>
      From my first tests I can say that GDAL 1.9.1 has greatly improved
      performance and the next versions should improve even further. The
      fastest visualization that I have achieved with version 1.9.1 is
      with single tiled raster files. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get
      GDAL to use overviews so far, but Jorge (GDAL's postgis raster
      developper) is researching on this subject.<br>
      <br>
      GDAL versions bellow 1.9 should not be able to read postgis 2.0.<br>
      <br>
      Unfortunately, since postgis 2.0 release, the python loader was
      discontinued in postgis source. Recently I have started to make
      the necessary changes starting from the old code to get it to
      work. I don't know if this is going to be a good solution but it
      seems possible. I'm trying to avoid the platform-dependent
      compilation that postgis' raster loader has in version 2.0 now
      that it's being entirely written in C. In the future I should
      probably release a simple uploader with the plugin, without all
      those options until I'm certain that everything is working
      according to the standard.<br>
      <br>
      I'm copying this mail to the list to allow other users to find
      this thread later.

              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>I loaded the sample vector shapefile into my new
                'training' database and opened it in QGIS with no
                problem.</div>
              <div><br>
              </div>
              <div>I loaded the sample raster data using the command in
                the tutorial, it loaded with no problems.  I ran the
                test query in the tutorial, no problem.  I went into
                QGIS to load the raster and got an error
                that referred to some missing python dependencies (i
                think it was the python-psycopg libs)... so I went to
                Synaptic and loaded the following:</div>
              <div><br>

              <div>
                <div>Installed the following packages:</div>

                <div>
                  I then came back to QGIS to open the raster and no
                  longer get the python error... this time it brings up
                  the "Load PostGIS Raster Layer" just fine and displays
                  my sample raster.  I click on the raster name in the
                  table and it puts it down in the "Table Name" input
                  box.  I then click on OK and get a window that pops up
                  saying "Could Not Load Layer".  I click ok to this and
                  another window comes up that says:  "Could not load
