Can't get any data from kinect
So here's the deal,
Whenever I tried using openni_launch, it worked normally, however, when I tried viewing an image using the kinect's rgb or depth camera, or even recording a simple bagfile with data from the kinect, I was unable to see any picture and rosbag did not record any data, and after a few seconds of running image_view or rosbag record, I got this error:
--

After searching around and trying various fixes, I figured it might be a problem with openni and started using freenect, howver I encountered the same problems, I could not record any data using bagfiles or see any images from the kinect (using rviz or image_view)
Then someone asked me to use something completely unrelated, freenect-glview, however that too gave me a black screen.
lsusb shows that all 3 parts of the kinect are connected and I've been able to control the kinect's motor through ubuntu so I know that there is at least a connection established between both.
Additional Info:
I run ROS on Ubuntu using VirtualBox V.4.2.14 and Windows 7 with USB 2 ports
I am using ubuntu 12.04 and ROS-Groovy (all up to date)
I've had the exact same errors on my Mac OSX Lion
When I try using Rviz with the kinect, VirtualBox crashes all together
I would appreciate anyone's help on the matter.
