    Question How to remove "config.lock"

    I am using "Lima Personal cloud" with a the Ubuntu Client (https://install.meetlima.com/#linux)

    My Linux PC froze and I had to force a restart while running Lima.
    Now I cannot start Lima - when I use the "start" command I get an error message - see below:


    morten@morten-Lenovo-B50-10:/usr/bin$ lima start
    Sat Jun 16 17:20:56 2018 default Lockpath /home/morten/.local/share/lima/config.lock is already locked, waiting for 60 seconds


    How do I remove the config.log so I can use my Lima again?

    Hello:
    In a terminal-emulator, I've been known to
    Code:
    rm /home/morten/.local/share/lima/config.lock
    Verify lima is not started or running if the rm "barks" about being "in use"
    and if it is not, then force it using
    Code:
    rm -vf /home/morten/.local/share/lima/config.lock
    in terminal

    start lima.

    Linux demands proof.

    Thanks a lot
    It worked - but not too happy delivering proof
