Could you give us more information? What kind of interface do you use at the error? For example, if the issue is related to ASUS sensor, this article ( http://answers.ros.org/question/54747/primesense-carmine-doesnt-work-but-asus-xtion-does-openni-launch-devices-connected-but-not-found/ )is useful.

You know that USB3.0 doesn't match ROS, don't you. Does your ~/.ros/camera_info folder include rgb_**.yaml and depth_*.yaml ? To get these file, you need a camera calibration.

sry it's not clear sry.

it think is that I am using the virtualbox to run the Ubuntu 12.04, so this may relate to, not running the Kinect or detecting the usb for the Kinect.

I also have experienced the error with early groovy, but recently I don't come across the error. and I use hydro and Ubuntu 12.04 on my PC. As I also have package parallels (virtual machine) on Mac, I'm trying it with kinect.

Did you read this article ( http://answers.ros.org/question/51472/does-ros-groovy-have-any-problems-running-on-virtualbox-with-ubuntu-1210/ )? I think Mr. tfoote's answer is relate to your error.

Asked by Ken_in_JAPAN on 2014-04-09 21:26:58 UTC

Ken is right, I would be surprised if this works in virtualbox. (Not saying it's impossible, but I'd be impressed.) Try installing Ubuntu directly, not in a virtual machine.

Thanks, @Martin Günther. As I have never used such a way that means connecting a hardware to a virtual machine, I have a chance of knowing an issue about virtual machine.

@Martin Günther. thanks for the in formations actually, my laser scanner works perfect well and i can control my turtlebot 2.
