OpenNI2 with Kinect v1

edit

Hi guys,

I know this might seem like a duplicate and the ros wiki says the kinect is not supported, but I used the OpenNI2-FreenectDriver and had success with NiViewer2 as well as sometimes with ROS.

The problem is that sometimes roslaunch openni2_launch openni2.launch works, while most of the time it gives me the following error:

┌┌(kota@kota-desktop)-(12:10pm-:-03/06)┌-¨-¨¨˙
