When exactly does this error happen? Directly on startup or when you start a game (i.e. open a world)?

Rename /.minetest/minetest.conf to something else to start Minetest with the default configuration. If Minetest still does not want to start, check glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version string" / glxgears to make sure that you actually have working OpenGL libraries installed.

googling for Major opcode of failed request: 152 (GLX):

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9694540/opengl-rendering-context-produces-opcode-of-failed-request-152-glx-mesa-8-0

which roughly correlates to my experience w/ similar errors, which usually were generated when using incompatible kernels and graphics drivers.

just installed, first cold start

The problem solved itself, coincidentally, the NVidia driver was updated in this session (auto-update in lubuntu).
After a simple reboot, the problem is solved
