I'm trying to get Kinect to run on the newest Processing release (2b7) on Xubuntu 12.10. I installed everything as suggested by the SimpleOpenNi page (
http://code.google.com/p/simple-openni/) and it was very straightforward. However, if I run the DepthImage example from the library, the standard output reads:
count = 0 : 045e/02b0@1/8
SimpleOpenNI Version 0.27
and then no image shows up! However, there seems to be no error -- just no image at all. The green light is blinking on the kinect to show that its connected, and I can see the red beam scanning. But still no image :(
I went to the Samples and tried an OpenNi Sample (SimpleViewer) -- however, no image shows up there.
If I use 'sudo ./Sample-NiSimpleViewer' then I get the following error:
Read failed: A timeout has occurred when waiting for new data!
Read failed: A timeout has occurred when waiting for new data!
but I get a frame of the image! it then just suddenly stops. So it appears that at least part of the issue is one of permissions.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this from here?
