Cabal fails to start #260

Closed okdistribute closed 4 years ago

okdistribute commented 4 years ago

Upon starting Cabal, nothing happens -- no windows open. I went to the commandline and started it in developer mode npm start to get the stack trace. Looks like there's a lock on the leveldb.

Upon startup, if there is a lock on the leveldb, Cabal should close that lock gracefully and open a new instance, rather than failing silently.

Perhaps also ensuring that the leveldb will always be closed when exiting cabal would be ideal... but perhaps this is not always possible, for example, if the computer abruptly dies.

Error [OpenError]: IO error: lock /home/okdistribute/.cabal-desktop/v1/1eef9ad64e284691b7c6f6310e39204b5f92765e36102046caaa6a7ff8c02d74/views/LOCK: Resource temporarily unavailable
