I just did the upgrade path from Ubuntu 18.04LTS to 19.04 as well.

GnuCash loaded, created the lock file then gave me an error message 
window that I didn't write down.  In short, I was told my .gnucash file 
did not exist, nor did the device and directory where it had just 
created the lock file (It showed up in the Nautilus window, and 
disappeared when I closed GnuCash)  Same response whether I used 
Nautilus to open a file or GnuCash itself.

I uninstalled GnuCash and reinstalled from the Ubuntu Software catalog 
and, so far, all of the features I have used seem to be working 
perfectly.  It installed Version 3.4, Build ID: 3.4+(2018-12-30), 
Finance::Quote: 1.47.
