Mame, KxMame, GMameUI not working after upgrade

Question

In previous releases, Mame and KxMame were working fine, but not any more since 10.10 .

Both front ends ask for the executable path, but no matter which I choose, they don't work.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Jorge this is not an upgrade problem. I had it installing gmame from scratch on Maverick. — Javier Rivera, Nov 15 '10 at 20:45

You can try this solution .

The site is in Spanish but I've translated it:

Uninstall package xmame-sld with Synaptic .
Install two packages from this page:
- Install:
  xmame-sdl_0.106-2.1_i386.deb 21-Jun-2.008 21:02 9.4M
- Then upgrade with this one:
  xmame-sdl_0.106-3.2_i386.deb 06-Dec-2009 11:55 9.4M

I had this problem after installing gmame. I manually installed the mame package and everything started working again.

sudo apt-get install mame

Looks like it is a packaging problem, maybe a missing dependency.

I have seen this solution on many pages, though it doesn't repair the Kxmame bug: just install another mame program.

Could not get xmame to work in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty AMD64 with GmameUI so I installed mame and it all worked.

@pr1y3nd Can you expand this answer to explain exactly what you did to get it working? How did you install mame? How did you use it? – Eliah Kagan Jan 09 '13 at 09:47
