[Bug 1452956] [NEW] Stale lock file causes QtCreator to freeze when starting

 

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)
     Importance: Undecided
