Revision history [back]

This issue happened for me after I installed the unstable binaries for 12.04 here. So I went back and installed the stable Ubuntu 10.10 version of the OpenNI Compliant Hardware Binaries. Now openni_camera finds my device as "unknown", but I am able to get both depth and RGB (and depth registration using dynamic reconfigure). So far it is working fine.
