      Did you try to reinstall qgis forcing the version available in
      ubuntu-gis unstable?<br>
      You probably has two qgis repositories working now, since qgis 1.8
      is not available in the default ubuntu repositories. You may want
      to remove the older repository and stick with ubuntugis unstable

                        <div>Hi, Brian and Etienne.<br>
                          Well, GDAL 1.7.3 was one of the first efforts
                          to read postgis raster, back in the release
                          candidate days. A few months before the
                          release of postgis 2.0 there was a major
                          change in the raster storage and some code was
                          discontinued. GDAL 1.9.0 was the first release
                          after postgis 2.0 was released so it's the
                          first version that is compatible.<br>
                          <br>
                          Fortunately, vector data is a mature standard
                          inside postgis and didn't suffer any major
                          changes that could break previous working
                          code. <br>
                          <br>
                          Even though we were all notified by these
                          changes, some of our previous work doesn't
                          work with the current version. It was a huge
                          improvement in raster storage and metadata
                          retrieval, so we have to cope with it.<br>
                          <br>
                          I'm releasing the new plugin version with the
                          weak loader tonight. It should be enough to
                          upload one untiled raster with no overviews to
                          the database. <br>
                          <br>
                          I'm using ubuntugis' repositories. The gdal
                          package available on it is version 1.9.1 so
                          you might want to try those binaries, since
                          they work pretty well.<br>

                                      <div>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.
