ASUS Xtion 2 - Can't find Depth Camera

[arunsunil]

Hello,

We are trying to use the ASUS Xtion 2 RGB-D camera using the OpenNI 2.2 SDK from ASUS [Link] on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit). When we try to use the SimpleRead or SimpleViewer application that comes with the package, we get the following error right after the camera is connected:

Video Camera at /dev/video0 Detected
Depth Camera at /dev/video1 Detected
Video Camera at /dev/video0 Inited
Cannot identify '/dev/video1': 2, No such file or directory
Can't open depth camera!

and afterwards the error message becomes:

Video Camera at /dev/video0 Detected
Can't find Depth camera!
Couldn't open device
DeviceOpen using default: no devices found

When the camera is connected, two devices show up in /dev - video0 and video1. But when SimpleRead or SimpleViewer is run, video1 disappears.

We tested the same camera on Windows 10 using OpenNI2.2 and it we are able to get both RGB and Depth images. So we were wondering if anyone here had any idea why this does not work on Ubuntu 16.04. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have the exact same result as arunsunil but then on Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), on Win 10 OpenNI2.2 running OK.

I come across the same issue. I can not open it in Ubuntu.
It works fine in Win10.
