Possibly you have crashed an earlier Audacity session, and so there is 
an old lockfile hanging around. This is what I'd do:

1. Open a terminal, then run:

$ top

and see if there are any Audacity processes running (press the 'u' key 
and type your user name to narrow down the list).

2. If so, run:

$ killall audacity

3. Check with top to see if the process has been killed. If not, run:

$ kill -9 1234

where '1234' is the PID of Audacity shown in 'top'.

4. Delete any lockfile found in the /tmp/audacity1.2-username/ directory

5. Start Audacity from a terminal and look for errors there.

Cheers!

Daniel
