Hi,

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 x64 and ROS diamond. My Kinect worked well with openni_kinect driver. Following instructions on this link, I could view the data from kinect.

However, after i installed PrimeSensor Module Stable Build for Ubuntu 10.10 x64 (64-bit) v5.0.1.31(There is no module for Ubuntu 10.04), when I tried to view the data using openni_camera package,

roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch

It shows no device connected...

vincent@vincent-desktop:~$ roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch

I guess this is a conflict between openni_kinect driver and PrimeSensor Module. Can someone help me fix this?

You should probably track down, what the module did system-wide and undo that to see what is the problem. Following the link, there is a README that describes what was installed.

If there is a Kernel module included, you should probably remove that first for testing rmmod <module>, you can find the name by looking at lsmod.

Otherwise I have seen there are udev rules included, maybe they change the device somehow. If you remove them temporarily you can see if that fixes it. It should be possible to make compatible rules.

Thank you, I tried removing related udev rules, didn't work. Then I removed all the files installed by PrimeSensor Module. Still didn't work. Now I got another problem. Running rosmake on any stack gives error, like: OSError: (1, 'Operation not permitted', '.../.ros/rosmake/rosmak'. any clue?

the rosmake error was due to a change in the default user group, solved by undoing the change

Did that maybe also remove permissions for kinect?

No, the default user group was changed after I got the problem on kinect

The openni driver will try to connect to the first enumerated device. You can change that to something specific in the launch file. lsusb already shows you bus + device 2@11 for entering there.

finally get it fixed, by reinstalling openni driver, following the first step of the source based installation of openni driver

hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/openni/drivers
cd drivers
make 
make install

I guess it is because when I manually removed the PrimeSensor Module, I deleted "libXnDeviceSensorV2.so" "libXnDeviceFile.so", and according to /etc/primesense/modules.xml, these two libraries are needed by openni

thanks dornhege
