Hello,

After installing the openni_kinect package using:

$ sudo apt-get install ros-fuerte-openni-camera ros-fuerte-openni-launch

I get the following error when trying to run roscore:

$ roscore
WARNING: unable to configure logging. No log files will be generated
Checking log directory for disk usage. This may take awhile.

Param xml is <param command="rosversion ros" name="rosversion"/>

I found this answer: http://answers.ros.org/question/37397/update-fuerte-to-1810-breaks-rospkg/ but after trying that solution and the ones listed on the comments this is the new error message:

$ roscore

Is there any way to solve this? This package would be really useful.

Thanks,
