openni_tracker with "Kinect for Windows"

edit

I can confirm that the Problem is also given for the Xition Pro Live camera. My fresh installed Ubuntu 12.04 lts 64 bit does complain about dummy threads which do not have any attributes, e.g.:

Exception AttributeError: AttributeError("'_DummyThread' object has no attribute '_Thread__block'",) in <module 'threading'="" from="" '="" usr="" lib="" python2.7="" threading.pyc'=""> ignored

Further does the driver not find/load the xition:

1. device on bus 002:07 is a Xtion Pro (600) from ASUS (1d27) with serial id '' [ INFO] [1340293305.271033061]: Searching for device with index = 1 [ INFO] [1340293309.278407567]: No matching device found.... waiting for devices. Reason: openni_wrapper::OpenNIDevice::OpenNIDevice(xn::Context&, const xn::NodeInfo&, const xn::NodeInfo&, const xn::NodeInfo&) @ /tmp/buildd/ros-fuerte-openni-camera-1.8.0/debian/ros-fuerte-openni-camera/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/openni_camera/src/openni_device.cpp @ 99 : creating depth generator failed. Reason: Got a timeout while waiting for a network command to complete!

Edit 1:

The System:

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64Bit (fresh installation) and installed fuerte. The machine itself is an Intel® Core™ i7 CPU Q 820 @ 1.73GHz × 8 with 8GB-Ram.

The same machine was already in use with diamond and electirc and worked well. The Xition PRO Live was also used a lot with the former ROS versions.

The lsusb log is:

The Problem:

Using fuerte and the command:

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

the sensor is not running correctly. Instead the system produces the following log:
