Ubuntu 16.04: Steam - “libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast”

Having installed nvidia-375, Steam didn't work, so I reinstalled, to no effect. When I try to open Steam, I get the following error (with LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose):

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit

STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

Installing breakpad exception handler for 

appid(steam)/version(1493162727)

libGL: screen 0 does not appear to be DRI2 capable

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Other answers have suggested I remove libstdc++.so.6, which I have done, so now my ~/.steam/steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu contains these:

libfreetype.so.6      libxcb.so.1        libXinerama.so.1.0.0

libfreetype.so.6.8.0  libxcb.so.1.1.0    libXrandr.so.2

libXau.so.6           libXext.so.6.4.0

libXau.so.6.0.0       libXinerama.so.1

I have an Nvidia Geforce 820M.

Just give it a try, run it with docker container, based on my dockerfile
https://github.com/allenyllee/server_setup/blob/master/nvidia_docker/Dockerfile_cuda80

This dockerfile is based on official cuda image, modified to run all cuda samples with OpenGL, you should use nvidia-docker to build & run it.

This solves my similar problem while running windows program via WINE.
