> What is this error "Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy"

A mutex is a programming artefact that counts the access to a resource (eg. 
printer, video card). Obviously no 2 papers can be printed at the same time, 
nor 2 song played at the same time, etc. A mutex is like a guard at the entry 
of a bar and that lets in only a fixed number of persons (processes or 
programs).

When a program is still using a device, the guard (mutex) cannot be removed 
from the door. That is basically what's happening here with you.
