bash console locked directory and dont wanna die

hello there! I ran a bash console, did "hg update", which (surprisingly) showed a quite conplicated and not really usable merge screen. Scared me a lot, so i closed the console entirely to try again with "hg update -C", cuz i dont wanna any merge here, but i got:

14:56 ~/game_of_peoples$ hg update -C waiting for lock on working directory of /home/Kulver/game_of_peoples held by 'harry-liveconsole3:28176'

and i cant kill that old one console proccess via "Consoles > Running processes", it kinda kills it, but nothing really happens. Can you be so kind and help me out? Killing everything that runs would be great. Thx! =)

Because you killed the console without allowing hg to clean up its locks, the lock is still there, even though the process isn't. I don't know enough about hg to advise you on how to recover. I would suggest asking on the hg forums or something.
