Could not find required OpenGL entry point 'glGetError'

Solution 1:

I found the solution to my problem. To get TF2 to work again all I had to do was remove the symbolic link that I made to get Skype working:

/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mesa/libGL.so.1

The problem now is Skype doesn't work again. I guess I'll just have to remake the symbolic link whenever I want to use Skype until Canonical fixes the seg fault issue with Skype.

Solution 2:

I know this is an old thread but removing / deleting this symlink is not a great answer at all. Many other applications depend on this file, although steam requires current drivers.

Please read my solution to this issue:
