Hi, I just installed ros-electric-openni-kinect and NITE-Bin-Dev-Linux-x86-v1.5.2.21 but the Kinect seems only work on NITE samples located in /Samples/Bin/x86-Release under NITE directory. I have Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and ROS Electric and plan to run www.ros.org/wiki/mit-ros-pkg/KinectDemos

When I tried rosrun rviz rviz , I have this:

dell@ubuntu:~/rosworkspace$ rosrun rviz rviz [ INFO] [1361795336.381707295]: rviz revision number 1.6.7 [ INFO] [1361795336.381887974]: ogretools revision number 1.6.3 [ INFO] [1361795336.381924641]: compiled against OGRE version 1.7.3 (Cthugha) [ INFO] [1361795336.928738550]: Loading general config from [/home/dell/.rviz/config] [ INFO] [1361795336.928949471]: Loading display config from [/home/dell/.rviz/displayconfig] [ INFO] [1361795336.962752162]: RTT Preferred Mode is PBuffer. The program 'rviz' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 22 errorcode 9 requestcode 136 minorcode 3) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdkxerror() function.)

When I tried the instruction on www.robotas.at/ros-and-kinect-ubuntu-installation/ I have the following console output
