Did you start /etc/init.d/postgresql service?

Normally, yes. I have added this with rc-update when my computer start.But it's strange, when i would like to start manually postgresql, terminal ask me to enter root password ! He ignore my sudo command... And i have disabled root account for security...

Code:
zohran@msi-gs73vr-6rf ~ % sudo rc-service postgresql-10 restart
Authenticating root.
Password:
zohran@msi-gs73vr-6rf ~ % rc-update show

Code:
/etc/init.d/postgresql-11 start


Then launch msfconsole, and inside of msfconsole do this :

Code:
db_rebuild_cache


This will eliminate the "using slow search" issue.

Odd choice. Many pentest tools play better as root.

I have found the true problem:

Code:
fulgurance@msi-gs73vr-6rf ~ $ pg_ctl start
pg_ctl: no database directory specified and environment variable PGDATA unset
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.


Where i configure this variable ? With what metasploit configuration file ?

I have found where is set this variable, in /etc/conf.d/postgresql-11 file, but this variable is set !
But correctly ? I don't know:

Code:
# Comma-separated list of directories that contain a unix
# socket. Created and controlled by the related initscript. The
# directories created will be owned root:postgres with mode 1775.
#
# /run/postgresql is the default directory.
PG_SOCKET_DIRECTORIES="/run/postgresql"

# Which port and socket to bind PostgreSQL
PGPORT="5432"

# How long to wait for server to start in seconds
START_TIMEOUT=10

# NICE_QUIT ignores new connections and wait for clients to disconnect from
# server before shutting down. NICE_TIMEOUT in seconds determines how long to
# wait for this to succeed.
NICE_TIMEOUT=60

# Forecfully disconnect clients from server and shut down. This is performed
# after NICE_QUIT. Terminated client connections have their open transactions
# rolled back.
# Set RUDE_QUIT to "NO" to disable. RUDE_TIMEOUT in seconds.
RUDE_QUIT="YES"
RUDE_TIMEOUT=30

# If the server still fails to shutdown, you can force it to quit by setting
# this to YES and a recover-run will execute on the next startup.
# Set FORCE_QUIT to "YES" to enable. FORCE_TIMEOUT in seconds.
FORCE_QUIT="NO"
FORCE_TIMEOUT=2

# Extra options to run postmaster with, e.g.:
# -N is the maximal number of client connections
# -B is the number of shared buffers and has to be at least 2x the value for -N
# Please read the man-page to postmaster for more options. Many of these
# options can be set directly in the configuration file.
#PGOPTS="-N 512 -B 1024"

# Pass extra environment variables. If you have to export environment variables
# for the database process, this can be done here.
# Don't forget to escape quotes.
#PG_EXTRA_ENV="PGPASSFILE=\"/path/to/.pgpass\""

##############################################################################
#
# The following values should not be arbitrarily changed.
#
# `emerge --config dev-db/postgresql:11' uses these values to
# determine where to create the data directory, where to place the
# configuration files, and any additional options to pass to initdb.
#
# The initscript also uses these variables to inform PostgreSQL where to find
# its data directory and configuration files.
#
##############################################################################

# Location of configuration files
PGDATA="/etc/postgresql-11/"

# Where the data directory is located/to be created
DATA_DIR="/var/lib/postgresql/11/data"

# Additional options to pass to initdb.
# See `man initdb' for available options.
PG_INITDB_OPTS="--encoding=UTF8"
