Crossed my fingers, closed GnuCash, and restarted. It started up OK,
and all the data appears to be intact. I've been using GnuCash since
1998, and this is the first glitch I have encountered. Not a bad record.

I have occasionally seen that release of GnuCash do something similar
to that when it crashes. In my case I just re-start it and click open
anyway at the prompt. Then I check to see if whatever I was doing
completed or if I lost any recent keystrokes. Usually there is little
or nothing missing because I do frequent saves before starting
anything involving a lot of keystrokes.

GnuCash 4.8, Build ID 4.8a+(2021-09-28) I installed it from Ubuntu
repository.
My operating system is Kubuntu 22.04
I've been running this version of gnucash for several years, since it
became available via Ubuntu.
I agree that it shouldn't take this long... It's now been several
hours
more!
