Turtlebot mapping with kinect

I have to develop occupancy grid map with turtlebot using kinect and fake laser.First I have launched the kinect.launch file in turtlebot_bringup package file to see the Laser Scans on Rviz

but i am seeing nothing and facing following messages on the terminal.

WARN: MessageFilter [target=/opennidepthframe ]: Dropped 100.00% of messages so far. Please turn the [ros.rviz.message_notifier] rosconsole logger to DEBUG for more information.

Would be grateful for guidance please.

Do you have a valid transform from /map to the kinect sensor frame?
