I'm trying to figure out why there is an error when I load the following in terminal:

$ mame

libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

$ locate *i915*

SOLUTION:

Here's the solution I figured out and removed my error:

sudo apt-get remove libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

Doing this showed some unmet dependencies [The clue I needed] and wouldn't let me uninstall this package without removing the ppa. I figured I'd start removing drivers to see what the issue was, it was the next step to troubleshoot this issue.

Wine MUST be installed when you do the oibaf PPA for this to work

I removed the following two ppa repositories:

ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates [I did this one in LXDE Start Menu > Preferences > Additional Drivers > Other Software [TAB]

$ sudo ppa-purge ppaibaf/graphics-drivers [Terminal]

**The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:**
libdrm-amdgpu1 libdrm-dev libdrm-intel1 libdrm-nouveau2 libdrm-radeon1 
libdrm2 libegl1-mesa libegl1-mesa-dev libgbm1 libgl1-mesa-dri 
libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa libosmesa6 libva-x11-1 libva1 libvdpau1 
libvorbis0a libvorbisenc2 libvorbisfile3 libwayland-egl1-mesa 
libxatracker2 mesa-utils mesa-vdpau-drivers xserver-xorg-video-ati 
xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libllvm3.6v5{a} 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libllvm3.8{u} libomxil-bellagio-bin{u} libomxil-bellagio0{u} 
vdpau-driver-all{u} 
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
i965-va-driver va-driver-all vdpau-va-driver 
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 27 downgraded, 4 to remove and 1 not upgraded.

dpkg: warning: downgrading libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 from 11.3~git1602290730.07ed00~gd~w to 11.0.2-1ubuntu4
Preparing to unpack .../libgl1-mesa-dri_11.0.2-1ubuntu4_i386.deb ...
Unpacking libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 (11.0.2-1ubuntu4) over (11.3~git1602290730.07ed00~gd~w) ...

Since Lubuntu 15.10 had some recent updates again regarding all the mesa driver packages, it was time to revert from the drivers I originally had working from those ppa repositories.

I still kept the following packages above and added this one from the unmet dependencies shown in the remove prompt:

sudo apt-get install kde-runtime

[Leaving it installed since it system is working well now]

I added sudo apt-get install pulseaudio to remove ALSA pcm errors I was having when it was the other ppa driver installed, just throwing that in extra.

All the other applications I had installed previously like mesa-utils, etc., did downgrade to official Ubuntu packages and now the issue is resolved!

$ dpkg --get-selections | grep mesa
libegl1-mesa:i386                install
libegl1-mesa-dev:i386                install
libgl1-mesa-dri:i386                install
libgl1-mesa-glx:i386                install
libglapi-mesa:i386                install
libglu1-mesa:i386                install
libosmesa6:i386                    install
libwayland-egl1-mesa:i386            install
mesa-utils                    install
mesa-vdpau-drivers:i386                install


$ mame -mt -video opengl -rs -speed 1.00

Average speed: 68.03% (185 seconds)

Now MAME is working correctly with the -Video OpenGL option [No more -Video Soft needed!] Errors gone!

DRICONF showing Mesa Driver Working now: Mesa Driver Loaded/Active

FINAL EDIT: So after a reboot, the issue returned.

FINAL FIX: I duplicated the error/fix 

[intel_do_flush_locked_failed:input output error/libGL error: failed to create dri screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

by re-adding the oibaf ppa, then doing LXDE Start Menu > System Tools > Software Updater to get the PPA software updates needed, then ppa purge again to figure out it was the Intel Driver I needed!

Used this link: https://launchpad. net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers/+packages

Installed these two from the link above and now everything is COMPLETE/WORKING!

  1. xserver-xorg-video-intel-dbg_2.99.917+git1602241932.d16728~gd~w_i386.deb (2.6 MiB)
  2. xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.99.917+git1602241932.d16728~gd~w_i386.deb (1.6 MiB)

Hope this helps someone with MAME who tries to get it working, and runs into this issue running it installing/configuring from Terminal.
