I would delete the file in the /tmp dir that it speaks of. Sounds like a lockfile that went stale.

Thats fine. Its a tmp file no real harm can be done. I would logout afterwords or reboot. Whichever you feel like, assuming it doesnt work. Its a lockfile, kill that file and the app will work again.
