At first, I think that you should check if kinect for windows works on ubuntu 12.04. I think that a kinect for Xbox360 is usually used on ROS. But, I found an article for Kinect for Windows on Ubuntu12.04 on this URL(http://choorucode.com/2013/07/23/how-to-get-started-with-kinect-for-windows-on-ubuntu-using-openni/). As far as I read the artcle, your problem seems to be drivers. For example, OpenNI 1.x is recommended on the article. It's not OpenNI 2.x. If you will install it, you might have other problems in the future. I recommend you to buy a kinect for XBox360.
