Mainstream OpenNI support for Orbbec cameras

Hello,

I have tried to use my Astra on Ubuntu 14.04 without success.

I followed all the steps provided by JaccovdS above. But when I run NiViewer I still receive the same message:

jurbrian@Juliano-PU301LA:~/jrbros/src$ NiViewer
One or more of the following nodes could not be enumerated:

Device: PrimeSense/SensorKinect/5.1.2.1: The device is not connected!

Press any key to continue . . .

What else could be wrong???

I also followed what bit-pirate proposes here, but the output is the same;

By the way, I noticed some people refer to OpenNI while others mention OpenNI2. Is there any difference to Astra?

Isn’t there a complete and official guide from Orbbec on how to install Astra in Ubuntu?

I already tested the camera in Windows, and it’s working fine, which tells me there is nothing wrong with the camera itself. But I need it in Ubuntu.

Thank you in advance for any help.
