This is entirely normal behavior. After successfully launching, the terminal will not allow you enter additional commands, as the driver is still working - it is in fact in the actual data streaming loop.

In order to run additional commands (such as rostopic hz /camera/rgb/points or rosrun rviz rviz), you will have to open new terminal windows to enter them in.

If you are new to ROS, I suggest you go through the beginner tutorials to get a feel for how you normally start, interact with and write ROS nodes.

Also, I can not post the output from rostopic hz /camera/rgb/points because when I enter that command, the terminal does not respond.

The problem is: The terminal stops after those two lines. Shouldn't I be able to enter additional commands? The terminal window behaves as if it's still working on some part of the program.

... the last two lines are: [ INFO] [1304977559.863246868]: rgb_frame_id = '/openni_rgb_optical_frame' [ INFO] [1304977559.865246392]: depth_frame_id = '/openni_depth_optical_frame'

... these are the last two lines in the Terminal Window... I have no idea why it appears to be hanging up here. Any information would be appreciated.

I am having trouble launching OpenNI in ROS. Here is the code that is generated in the terminal. Please help!
