So while did it fail the first time?

That seems to be a really common bug in a lot of programs.  They test
the lock/unlock and make sure other separate copies won't use the
profile when another process is using it, but developers all think

What's a profile and how do I unlock it>

their program won't crash so there is no way to lose a lock. and so
they forget to handle the program crashing with the profile being
locked and lose the lock.   And there are cases that lock reclaim can
fail on if the lock reclaim process suspects that the holder is not
the same host.
The hostname referenced is probably another name for your IP address
of your workstation.   try a dig <name> and or a ping name and see if
it comes back as your IP address

hennebry@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-284-dynamic ~]$ nslookup localhost-live.midcoip.net
Server:		127.0.0.53
Address:	127.0.0.53#53

** server can't find localhost-live.midcoip.net: NXDOMAIN

I realize 127.0.0.1 is my computer,
but I'm not clear on how 127.0.053 and 127.0.0.53#53 are used.

Best guess is do a find ~/ -iname "*lock*" -ls    and see if there is
a file that looks like a lock.

I got 36 lock files all with hromi in the name.

 0 Nov 24 14:35 ./.config/chromium/Default/Local\ Storage/leveldb/LOCK
 0 Nov 24 14:35 ./.config/chromium/Default/Sync\ Data/LevelDB/LOCK
 0 Nov 24 14:35 ./.config/chromium/Default/discounts_db/LOCK

And it may be that the first lock in my list has a name (on yours)
that confuses the lock reclaim.   Possibly the ip address does not
resolve to the same name both forward and reverse, and/or it resolves
to several different names/ips.

How do I unlock?
