Postgresql fails to start on Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS

After I install and when restarting Postgresql I get this error. I have tried changing permissions accordingly(the owner of the all the directories and files in the error message is postgres) but to no avail. I have also completely purged and reinstalled different version of postgresql and get the same error on every install. I have tried starting as root and as postgres user.

"/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-9.2-main.log" is empty.

root@ks27059:/var/lib/postgresql/9.2# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
