You appear to be missing OpenGL support. What kind of video card do you have? What display driver are you using?
I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330. I'm not shur about the driver, but it should be the current one of the X.Org Foundation. I updated it today.
sure*
Did you do the step where you selected the experimental NVIDIA driver? If so, you should be running the correct driver. Something is still wrong with your configuration, though.
If you run glxinfo from a shell does it work?
it tells me:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".

Can you try reinstalling the driver? Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest.
ok thank you. i will try that.
This can occur if the user updates nvidia-drivers and does not reinsert the module or reboots.
@steave65 is this fixed for you now?
Closing pending confirmation that there's still a Steam issue.
Nothing extracted yet.
After installing steam it won't start. when I click the steam icon.
I already followed the instructions for ubunto 12.04 mentiont here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve
I have also installed "xfonts-75dpi", "xfonts-100dpi" , "xfonts-scalable" and "xfonts-base"
mentioned in another thread .
when using the "steam" command in the terminal it outputs this:
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1358447263_client)
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0".
Looks like steam didn't shutdown cleanly, scheduling immediate update check
