Trouble connecting Kinect with freenect_launch

edit

I am trying to connect to a Kinect model 1414 using freenect_launch and encountering a malloc(): memory corruption error (the full error log is listed below). I am running the program on Ubuntu 14.04 and ROS Indigo. I tried amongst other things installing the Avin2 drivers and the answers from http://answers.ros.org/question/19645... . I believe that freenect works since I can see the image coming from the Kinect using $freenect-glview. The error may come from a bad installation on my part since a "clean" install of freenect_launch on a another computer works.

$roslaunch freenect_launch freenect.launch
started roslaunch server http://

Followed by a list of nodelets which did or did not launch successfully.

Any help would be appreciated!
