The Xiron USB subsystem failed to initialize!

Technical Support & Q&A Basic

I downloaded the OpenNI SDK from the develop page of Orbbec and did the steps in the readme, using an Astra Embedded S. But when I try to run it I get this error.

nyp@nyp-B360M-D3H:~/Desktop/OpenNI-Linux-x64-2.3.0.66/Samples/SimpleViewer/Bin/x64-Release$ ./SimpleViewer
After initialization:

SimpleViewer: Device open failed:
Could not open “2bc5/060b@2/17”: The Xiron USB subsystem failed to initialize!

You should run as root.

I ran as root, set permissions on the usb devices and I still get the same error on Ubuntu 20.04.
