Hi, today I run into a huge trouble. My linux box was out of order. After a hard reset eclipse, firefox, and thunderbird were locked. Firefox and thunderbird appears with a message, that a other process, that is not runnable holds the lock. Eclipse said that another process holds the lock of this workspace.I fixed it.
- Firefox: goto ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile> and remove lock and .parentlock. Then I got another problem. Firefox was different. I had to create a new profile.
- Thunderbird: goto ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/<profile> and remove lock and .parentlock.
- Eclipse: In <workspace>/.metadata there is a .lock fiel. Remove it.
