OpenNi2 and Asus Xtion Pro Live device not found

Patrick Reul picture Patrick Reul · Nov 12, 2013 · Viewed 11.5k times · Source

I'm getting crazy... It just doesnt work:
I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 64bit edition.
After updating the whole system I installed what I think are all of the packages needed for OpenNI2: sudo apt-get install g++ python libusb-1.0-0-dev libudev-dev openjdk-6-jdk freeglut3-dev doxygen graphviz -y.
After that I downloaded the OpenNI2 Version 2.2.0.32 Beta Linux x64.
After unpacking I ran the install.sh with no errors.
Then plugging in the sensor, lsusb output:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 1d27:0601 ASUS
But when I try to run the SimpleViewer example, I always get the following error:
After initialization:
SimpleViewer: Device open failed:
DeviceOpen using default: no devices found

Thanks for your help:

Just for update this for Ubuntu 14 and the new repository should use the following commands.

# Build OpenNI
git clone https://github.com/occipital/OpenNI2.git
cd OpenNI2 && make -j4

Only Xtion ID 1d27:0601 ASUS is working but not the 0600 for a descriptor problem. more info here
