Hello everyone,

I'm am attempting to get RGBDSLAM working on Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty).

I have used to following links to aid in installing ROS Electric, RGBDSLAM and openni_kinect:

For the RGBDSLAM link I stopped at section 4 (Usage). This is because the terminal command

roslaunch rgbdslam kinect+rgbdslam.launch

lead to only the RGBDSLAM UI to appear; pressing space or enter didn't seem to cause anything to happen.

From here, I decided to test to make sure I could actually use the kinect through openni. I started to follow this and used

roslaunch openni_launch openni.launch

in terminal. The final timeout seems to occur sometimes as I use rviz.

... logging to /home/cleros/.ros/log/89f8eb9e-bf87-11e1-8df5-000c29684d60/roslaunch-ubuntu-10105.log
        Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.
        Press Ctrl-C to interrupt
        Done checking log file disk usage. Usage is <1GB.

        started roslaunch server http://ubuntu:50032/

@nitasgu: According to http://ros.org/wiki/roscore roslaunch automatically starts roscore if roscore isn't going. I'm not sure how to restart roscore (I'm new to ROS) - however I would have assumed several restarts of Ubuntu should have done a restart of roscore?

@Felix Endres: I'm running Ubuntu in VMWare so that may explain the issue. Unfortunately, I don't really have the time at the moment to check to confirm this is the case. Thanks.

EDIT: Appears VMWare was the issue in the end. Thanks again Felix.

There are many people having similar problems. I could always get things to work by switching to another usb socket. The driver doesn't work with usb 3 and also not in a virtual machine. Also note that openni_camera (as started by kinect+rgbdslam.launch) and openni_launch may differ and interfer.

I've had the same situation, but I could solve it just by restarting roscore.

Did you restart roscore?
