Revision history [back]

Thanks for your speedy answer Dornhege :-)

I think Ive got the build going 100% (reordering calls in .bashrc seems to have worked) but am still stuck right at the last hurdle - I can even see the RGBDSLAM GUI - so am tantalizingly close :-)

I installed the "openni_kinect" package as per http://www.ros.org/wiki/openni_kinect using the command "sudo apt-get install ros-electric-openni-kinect" - no problem - and have connected the Kinect.

But still, whenever I launch RGBDSLAM with "roslaunch rgbdslam kinect+rgbdslam.launch" (or "roslaunch openni_camera openni_node.launch" I get the following error:

This appears to be a common problem and I have tried:

Killing XnSensorServer (with 'Killall XnSensorServer') at different pre/post launch stages, to ensure its shut down, this had no effect.

It was suggested somewhere else that I run 'echo “blacklist gspca_kinect” > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-psengine.conf' to prevent an Ubuntu service from interfering - no luck.

and tried to set the following in case it would help - but am not sure if I did so correctly: ROS_HOSTNAME="localhost" ROS_MASTER_URI="http://localhost:11311"

My USB setup looks fine I think:

mike@ubuntu:~$ lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 005: ID 045e:02b0 Microsoft Corp.

Xbox NUI Camera

So, what could it be??? Have I forgotten to install something, or set something else somewhere???

All help hugely appreciated, so close :-)

Thanks, Mike
