[GNC] Can't open saved .gnucash file

[Chris Raesz]

I recently had a desktop meltdown but I had my data backed up. I am 
using Linux and gnucash version GnuCash 5.8, Build ID: 5.8+(2024-07-06)

When I try to open it, I get a message stating some other user has the 
file locked. When I tell it to open read-only or open anyway, it 
crashes. My command line attempts give me this:

    Backtrace:
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:

    ERROR: In procedure GncOption-set-value:

    Some deprecated features have been used.  Set the environment
    variable GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED to "detailed" and rerun the
    program to get more information. Set it to "no" to suppress
    this message.


What do I need to do to clear this lock issue??
