Fresh install, unable to launch any game

[e633]

Hi,
just reinstalled Steam + CSS + TF2;
My system is a fresh Linux Mint 14 x64 with an NVIDIA GTX550Ti (drivers 310.32 installed via downloaded package directly from nvidia.com)
specs are the following:

~ $ sudo lshw

http://pastebin.com/EiJawrbm

~ $ glxinfo |grep rendering

direct rendering: Yes

~ $ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose; glxinfo

http://pastebin.com/bmWeQxfm

I'm having the following issues:
- CS:S won't start
- TF2 won't start

Relevant console output:
[repeated multiple times]
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/tls/swrast_dri.so
libGL: OpenDriver: trying /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Even though i have:

~ $ locate swrast_dri.so

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/swrast_dri.so

That's the problem.
You should never install with the installer, if you are running 64bit Debian/Ubuntu.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥... can you be more specific?

[7 clash.gg]

install ia32-libs from synaptic or sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
in Terminal: sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/lib32\n/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa\n" >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/steam.conf' && sudo ldconfig

[e633]

Done, nothing changed.
I also get this now:

libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable

[towo01]

You need the 32bit glx from the nvidia driver and the installer puts this in the wrong location, if you have choosen to install the 32bit libs.

So, in short, what have i done wrong?
What can i do?

[[LX]ツ CozyPlay]

try to install the drivers from the repos.
installing drivers manualy isnt recommened

[e633]

So the official driver is not supported? WTF is wrong with these people?

[[LX]ツ CozyPlay]

it is supported, but they usualy build the divers and then the distros repack it for easy and stable install, they also add any dependencis it might need.

[e633]

So i am simply missing some 32 bit dependancy and\or it has been installed in the wrong directory?

[[LX]ツ CozyPlay]

maybe...
just install it from the distro repositoy and see what happens, but frist you will need to uninstall the drivers you installed manualy, wich also is a pain.
Installing drivers manualy is never a good idea they even recommend that you use the drivers from the distro themselfs.

Heres a quote from nvidia:
"Note that many Linux distributions provide their own packages of the NVIDIA Linux Graphics Driver in the distribution's native package management format. This may interact better with the rest of your distribution's framework, and you may want to use this rather than NVIDIA's official package."

Oh well... i always installed them manually up to when i switched to x64 and never had a problem.
Nor i have problems now with other 3d programs. Just steam. -.-
Let's try these repos then...

[[LX]ツ CozyPlay]

give us a heads up after you tried and if it works or not :)

Im also having this problem, i did a fresh install and am using the nvidia 313.26 drivers and it works with non steam games...
