In checking today, the System Monitor (as suggested) showed only the
error message window as shown below. There were no darktable-related
processes running (which I anticipated, given that darktable refused to
start). I ran the ps tool that Remco suggested, and got the same
results. I could find NO lock files related to darktable anywhere on
the system; neither data.db.lock nor library.db.lock (p. 287 in The Fine
Manual). What to do now? I moved data.db and library.db to the
desktop. Lo and behold, darktable started normally. I have to presume
that one or the other were corrupted, so both got deleted. In any case,
darktable is once again up and running. I am looking forward to v4.2.0
popping out of the chute in the very near future.
Thanks to Butch and Remco for their suggestions.

I've run into a challenge on my one Linux Mint 21 computer. Since
yesterday, when I start darktable, I get the message below. I've
deleted the lock files repeatedly, to no avail. I've uninstalled and
reinstalled darktable, but get the same message every time. I am NOT
a Linux wizard and haven't a good idea of how to resolve this issue.
Anyone got some good advice? I'm hoping to come to a successful
resolution before darktable 4.2 springs out later this month.

I am not a Mint user (I use Ubuntu), but you should have an
application named "System Monitor". You need to open that and make
sure you are on the Processes tab. If you see one called
'darktable', press End Process on the lower right border of the
System Monitor window, then press End Process on the pop-up. Check
to make sure you do not have multiple darktable processes.
