libGL error: unable to load driver: nouveau_dri.so
Sounds like an incomplete installation of the NVIDIA driver. Or possibly a system update was performed post–driver installation. The NVIDIA driver ships its own version of libGL that is incompatible with the Mesa version shipped by default with your distro. I wouldn't expect the NVIDIA–shipped libGL to be trying to load anything nouveau–related. If you install the driver from repositories (e.g. apt-get install nvidia-driver) then this is all handled for you with update-alternatives, but if you manually install a driver from nvidia.com you run into all sorts of problems like the above.
