openni_kinect is deprecated, you should use freenect_stack instead from here

sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-freenect-stack

roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch

Then open another shell to visualize the rgb image or any other topic:

rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color
