If i run it from console it only states
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
There is already an issue about it and i've already tried with the mame.ini tweaks, same crashes. When trying to launch through Unity/UI, the crash message can't be copied, I would've loved to paste it here for you.
So now, I would only like to know how to uninstall the package (lightning mame frontend), there is no record of it in the Ubuntu Software Center and I don't like to have software around which doesn't work.
Thanks.

Lightningcrashes when trying to build a database of my ROMS
Into the mame.ini file, you must set the "numprocessors" entry with a numeric (integer) value, not "auto" as it set by default.
Explanation...
The script /usr/share/pyshared/lightningmf_pk/init.py generates following error when building database because of a badly formatted XML file created in /tmp:
File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/lightningmf_pk/init.py", line 213, in parse_elements
event, root = doc.next()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1266, in next raise e
xml.etree.ElementTree.ParseError: syntax error: line 1, column 0
The temporary XML file starts with those two lines who make the parser confused:
While parsing $HOME/.mame/mame.ini:
Illegal integer value for numprocessors: "auto"; reverting to auto
Only when the application was installed in Ubuntu. When I close it, Ubuntu displays one of its so-useful messages.
I need an icon for your frontend and can see the shortcut in the games section of Lubuntu. Now you can just create a custom shortcut on the desktop, but it is not easy to include an icon in the panel of LXDE Lubuntu, requires action by hand in the code of LXDE to add an icon to the interface. After installing the icon to appear in the games section of Lubuntu could easily include it in the main panel.
Hi Nicolas,
I am using your frontend and I put all snap of mame, is a huge number: 26678 files. With such a large number of snap frontend tends to crash when you try to load the roms, even though they were very few roms. In practice, it should read only the snap useful to roms found to curb the problem.It builds up a huge cache useless and that creates problems on large numbers of snap.
If you then uninstall and reinstall the lightingmf cache not cleared and the problem persists, there is a stalemate.
You may correct?
Thanks for your great job!

gpl ?
I am not sure if this is the best place for this but would like to see a favorite list.
Here is what the terminal says when I try to run it. I'm on linux mint 15, with mame 0.146
Hello , thank you for your work , he is useful with LXDE Desktop on Lubuntu . I'm testing your frontend on a very old machine , a Pentium 4 , 1.80 GH , and the number of roms analyzed is 1103 files . With this performance I would need that the search filter the search field departed after entering at least 4 characters , or alternatively , after a few seconds of the last character entered. Your frontend filters after each caratter inserted and 1103 files with the software slows down heavily : I have to wait a few seconds to enter a new character . You could optimize this situation by following my advice ? On old machines the situation should improve significantly , Thanks
P.S. Sorry for my bad english I hope I explained adequately
When I try to initialize the rom and snap I get the following error:
/gtk-2.0/apps/thunar.rc:55: error: invalid string constant "thunar-statusbar" expected valid string constant
Thank you
