I am able to use the openni_camera node with the command "roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch". However, if I try to use any other nodes that require openni_camera (such as openni_tracker or rviz), openni_camera fails. Previously, I had a different error that was solved, but I do not know if this new error is a result of the solution or not. This is what is output. The problem is in the last few lines.

robot@peoplebot2:~$ roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch

I think the 'bad parameter' error comes when openni calls InitFromXmlFile to parse an xml file containing the setup for the sensor. The error output tells you where to look in the C++ code. Have a look at the code to see the directory path of the xml file. Any syntax error in the file will cause the error, but I recently had this error because the rgb image node was declared BEFORE the depth image node. Changing the order of the nodes fixed the problem. Strangely this error occurred only after installing ROS. I had used the same xml file for years without this problem.

Are you using USB 3.0 Ports? See here.

Do you use an extension cord? I had problems with too long cables.

I do not use an extension cord. I do not think that it has USB 3.0 ports, but I am not 100% sure. However, the computer was able to run openni_camera properly for a short time before bugs began to occur, so I do not think that this would be the problem. Also, it can run libfreenect correctly.
