I&#39;ve been trying to reproduce the RGBDSLAM demo, but I can&#39;t even get over the first hurdle of getting openni_camera to work. I&#39;m running Ubuntu 10.10 in VMware on top of OSX, but I&#39;ve verified that the kinect works in this setup by running the freenect demos. Is it possible the freenect driver is somehow conflicting with the openni driver?<div>

<br></div><div>I&#39;ve tried downloading the source for the openni_ros packages, or installing via apt-get, but they both have the same behaviour. If I run image_view (rosrun image_view image_view image:=/camera/rgb/image_color) then after a while I get this message:</div>

<div><br></div><div><div>terminate called after throwing an instance of &#39;openni_wrapper::OpenNIException&#39;</div><div>  what():  virtual void openni_wrapper::OpenNIDevice::startImageStream() @ /home/local/ros/openni_ros/openni_camera/src/openni_device.cpp @ 159 : starting image stream failed.

<div><br></div><div>Has anyone seen anything like this? I&#39;m just about to dive into the code and debug it myself, but I thought I&#39;d check here first.</div><div><br></div><div>cheers,</div><div>Tom</div>
