 | 1 | initial version |
I solved it by reverting to older versions of openni-dev and ps-engine. Using binaries for newer versions that were posted here on answers only caused more problems (ie. my camera wasn't detected at all).
step 1:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:v-launchpad-jochen-sprickerhof-de/pcl
step 2:
sudo apt-get update
step 3:
Open synaptic (install it if you have to) then search for openni and remove openni-dev completely. You'll probably see version 1.5.2.23 installed.
Now select openni-dev and choose the menu item Package, Force version. Select version 1.3.2.1-4+precise1 from the menu (provided by the ppa you just added).
Install it.
Then go to Package and Lock version. You should see a red bar over the now installed openni-dev.
Then choose ps-engine (it should appear when you search for openni). Force the version for this package to 5.0.3.3-3+precise1.
install it and lock the version.
You can now install the packages ros-fuerte-openni-launch and ros-fuerte-openni-camera. The functionality should be the same as what you used to have in electric.
Now let's just hope that whatever is causing the problem gets fixed soon.
| | 2 | comments about the first two errors and my system config |
The first two errors are not really fatal, so I'm ignoring them on my system.
the third one seems similar to what I experience on a fresh install of lubuntu 12.04 64 bit and ros fuerte.
