Revision history [back]

Ahaaa, got the build and Kinect recognition going at last - did a completely fresh install and found I had to also install GSL for the default build to complete: (sudo apt-get install gsl-bin; sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev) and then GTK for the pixbuf requirement (sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf) before the GUI would launch.

But now, RGBDSLAM is now building fine and is recognizing the Kinect on launch but unfortunately still no data/image from the Kinect ever appears on the GUI. It just says "Waiting for monochrome, depth and motion" information...

The terminal displays:

process[rgbdslam-7]: started with pid [17347] bool g2o::HyperGraphActionLibrary::registerAction(g2o::HyperGraphElementAction): creating collection for "writeGnuplot" bool g2o::HyperGraphActionLibrary::registerAction(g2o::HyperGraphElementAction): creating collection for "draw"

So,what do I need to do now? :-)

Do I need to install some sort of viewer or support package, or specific graphics drivers, or is running Ubuntu as a VM possibly causing problems (unlikely)?

So close, all help appreciated :-)
