--000000000000001d2f0599e87b17 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" The simple solution is that who ever is testing the pgadmin4 installation , if they did it on a clean machine , it would save alot of pain. When I worked in a software house I followed this practice every time. For every project I did a clean install. I know it is time consuming. But it is a best practice needs to be followed. Because I knew I may have a setting or software installed from previous project , so the user environment would be different from development environment. Linux still has problems. Fedora 31 has wifi driver but ubuntu doesn't so I am using USB wifi dongle with my new laptop.
