Public bug reported:
I was debugging why my ubuntu-sdk instance would not start up (it
instead freezes indefinitely) when I noticed a stale lock file under
~/.config. I removed this file and the IDE started.
To reproduce:
1. Execute the following from the terminal: touch
~/.config/QtProject/QtCreator.ini.lock
2. Start qtcreator or ubuntu-sdk.
Expected results: The IDE starts as expected
Actual results: The IDE hangs indefinitely
Any sane IDE should be able to handle stale lock files--such a thing
should not prevent the application from starting.
** Affects: ubuntu-ui-toolkit (Ubuntu)
