Launch Problem with TF2. Graphics or OpenGL?

[Hydera5]

Hello everybody, I have downloaded steam for linux as well as tf2, the only problem is when I run the game it gives me the error: Could not find OpenGL entry point 'glColorMaskInedexedEXT'! Either you Graphics card is unsupported, or your OpenGL driver needs to be updated.

So i ran: lshw -C video and got this:

*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
physical id: 12
bus info: pci@0000:00:12.0
version: a2
width: 64 bits
clock: 66MHz
capabilities: pm msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom
configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0
resources: irq:16 memory:f5000000-f5ffffff memory:d0000000-dfffffff memory:f4000000-f4ffffff memory:80000000-8001ffff

Im very new to Ubuntu so I was wondering if someone could straight up if my graphics card is unsupported.
Or if its my opengl driver out of date, how i would go about updating it to fix this issue.

Thanks!

Ok i went through and tried the first step. But the terminal returned this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libc6-dev-i386 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Are you running 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu? Steam was 32-bit. Not sure if anything in it is 64-bit yet, but it runs fine in 64-bit 12.04 with 32-bit libs (ia32-libs package). The libc6-dev-i386 in that link is specifically for 64-bit Linux before compiling the hl2debug thing. If your Ubuntu is 32-bit you probably just need libc6-dev (which might already be installed).

I have never used hl2debug since Steam and TF2 have worked fine for me since late beta in January, other than minor occasional issues during various TF2 updates.

What video drivers are you running? For nvidia Steam recommends most recent nvidia "experimental" drivers (installed from Additional Drivers). What is the output from: dpkg-query -l nvidia* | grep ii
For me in 12.04 it is

ii  nvidia-common                          1:0.2.44.2                              Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers
ii  nvidia-experimental-310                310.14-0ubuntu0.3                       Experimental NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii  nvidia-settings-experimental-304       304.48-0ubuntu0.1                       Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

im 32 bit, heres what i got when i ran what you mentioned earlier:

ii nvidia-common 1:0.2.71.1 i386 transitional package for ubuntu-drivers-common
ii nvidia-current 304.88-0ubuntu0.1 i386 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library
ii nvidia-settings 304.88-0ubuntu0.2 i386 Tool for configuring the NVIDIA graphics driver

Find "Additional Drivers", which is either in System Settings (gear in Unity bar) or in some versions it was in the gear in upper right corner of screen. "Activate" the most recent experimental one which says something like:

NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (**experimental**beta) (version experimental-310)

Or whatever is the most recent experimental driver at the bottom of the list. I don't know if that will help your issue, but the most recent experimental driver is what Steam recommends for nvidia. In a version of Ubuntu newer than 12.04 the complete driver version number may differ from what mine is.
