Now i was uninstalling the driver, but i'm afraid i "must" do something related with the OpenGL stuff for get the system at the same state that before the nvidia installation. Maybe reinstall some "regular packages"?. The nouveau driver can't be used now when i uninstalled the "non-ubuntu" nvidia driver, while i was able to use it perfectly before that installation.

Yes, don't use non-Ubuntu methods to install stuff. That gums up the
works. The .run file, straight from nVidia, puts its' libraries in
directories that aren't kosher to Ubuntu. You could have both installed
and wind up with two sets of libraries. Not a good plan. With Fedora I
had to utilize the .run file. Ubuntu is blessedly freer of such
nonsense. Use the Ubuntu method and sin no more. It just works. :) Ric
