Hi Everybody, as this is "the thread" for OpenNI 2, I would like to let you know of a procedure to make it work with Ubuntu and kinects. Here is the procedure :

1) Install Ubuntu 12.10 (the version 13.04 doesn't work with kinects)

2) sudo apt-get install freenect

3) Download and install OpenNI 2.2 :

cd OpenNI-2.2/
sudo ./install.h

4) Download and install NITE 2.2 :

cd Nite-2.2/
sudo ./install.h

5) Download Driver FreenectDriver

https://github.com/piedar/OpenNI2-FreenectDriver

6) Build driver

./waf configure build

7) Copy .so files (build/libFreenectDriver.so ), and paste it in :

OpenNI-2.2/Redist/OpenNI2/Drivers
OpenNI-2.2/Samples/Bin/OpenNI2/Drivers
Nite-2.2/Samples/Bin/OpenNI2/Drivers

Have a good day everybody !
