Not sure whether this is related, but the Kinect/Xtion don't work with USB 3.0 ports (xhci), only with USB 2.0 (ehci).

Try running tail -f /var/log/syslog before plugging in the Xtion, then plug it into all ports of your machine one after the other and watch the output. If it says something about xhci, that port won't work; if it says ehci, it should be fine.

If all of your ports are USB 3.0 ports, you'll have to disable USB 3.0 by one of the following means:

  • disable USB 3.0 in the BIOS settings
  • blacklist the xhci kernel module
