Your apport data indicates that you have the nvidia-current package
installed, which provides the binary nvidia drivers. If the binary
drivers are activated, nouveau will not work.

Did you disable the restricted drivers in System→Administration→Hardware
Drivers before trying nouveau? If you remove them, does nouveau now
work?
