Quick update: I’ve compiled the OpenNI2 git repo GitHub - orbbec/OpenNI2: OpenNI2 (develop branch), and the samples report:
$ ./SimpleViewer
After initialization:
SimpleViewer: Device open failed:
DeviceOpen using default: no devices found
The primesense and python method still works for retrieving video though.

I also compiled hello_world from the docs, and was able to compile and run the samples that call astra::initialize() and astra::terminate() with nothing between them, but when I add the frame reading code, then the program hangs. It seems to be likely that the camera is not found…
EDIT: I downloaded the 2-Linux.zip from the http://orbbec.com/develop site, and after extracting the OpenNI-Linux-x64-2.3.zip, I was able to run SimpleViewer with no problems. It still hasn’t fixed the other problems, but at least some other program from Orbbec is able to access the camera.
EDIT2: Will also add: my user is definitely in the video group.
