Last night I installed/ran the PostGIS Manager plugin with no issues on
my Ubuntu Intrepid laptop. Today (at work) I'm having an issue running
the plugin on my Ubuntu(guest), XP(host) - VirtualBox install.

I'll mention again that this worked right away on my laptop (after
installing psycopg2) not sure what's going on now..However currently,
when I click the plugin button, 1st I get the error msg:

#Couldn't connect to database:
#FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "joe"

So I CREATE USER joe in psql. Attempt to run the plugin again:

#Couldn't connect to database:
#FATAL: database "joe" does not exist

I whip up a databased named joe and with OWNER postgres or joe I get the
error below

Also, when I 'OK' the error msg and click on the public schema in the
PostGIS Manager window - I get another err msg. I hope this is not just
some User/Login issue with Ubuntu..but I would appreciate some insight*joe
