Good day everyone. I've been working so far with this problem and I've got a answer. Maybe it's not the most convenient one, but I got results.
So far, everything I've been reading says only Kinect, never specifing which type of Kinect. In my lab we had the previously described one. Today, I went to a friends house and borrowed his Kinect for Xbox 360 (model 1414). I tried all the previous instructions, and checked as instructed by expelliarmus the OpenNi_launch page. Finally, Kinect is working with Linux, is being recognized and I can start testing ASAP.
Summarizing, use a Kinect for Xbox 360.
However, take into consideration that this version does not include a USB, so you need to use an adapter which supplies power to the Kinect and also enables the USB (e.g. The one supplied with Kinect for Windows, which I'm using ATM)
