Problems with MAME snap

I’m running a fully updated Ubuntu 18.04 with X and I’m testing the MAME snap and I’m facing a few issues:

  • When I start it I see this messages:
    $ mame 
    libGL: Can't open configuration file /home/latitude/snap/mame/377/.drirc: No such file or directory.

But MAME starts OK nevertheless.

Here is more info about my system:

Are you experiencing those problems too @popey ?
Thanks a lot for this!

I didn’t have these issues last time I saw it. Interesting, will take a look.
