It complains that it cannot setup the shared memory (shm) segments

First, login as the hobbit user and run "ipcs -m" to see if any
shared-memory segments exist for this user. When hobbitd is
stopped there should not be any. If you see something like this:
hobbit at osiris:~$ ipcs -m
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
0x020289c7 32769 hobbit 600 262144 2
0x030289c7 65538 hobbit 600 262144 2
0x040289c7 98307 hobbit 600 262144 2
0x050289c7 131076 hobbit 600 262144 1

0x070289c7 196614 hobbit 600 524288 2
and there is no hobbitd running, then the normal cleanup
didn't happen when hobbitd last stopped. You can use "ipcrm -m <shmid>"
to remove them manually.
That did the trick. Thank you very much. Now I just need to figure out
how to get rid of the purple hobbitd_client alert :)
