title: kinect + openni + ubuntu 12.10 installed by apt-get
body: <p>I'm trying to find a simple and error-free way to install kinect for my Ubuntu version. Using apt-cache I have an official list of primesense and .... perhaps openni like following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev - Microsoft Kinect sensor modules for the OpenNI framework
  libopenni-sensor-primesense0 - Microsoft Kinect sensor modules for the OpenNI framework
  openni-sensor-primesense-bin - Microsoft Kinect sensor modules for the OpenNI framework
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>so I installed all of them by apt-get install and their versions are 5.1.0.41-2+quantal1. Is this considered an accomplished installation of OpenNI and the drivers? </p>
  
  <p>Or do I need another installation of OpenNI development by downloading at <a href="http://www.openni.org/openni-sdk/" rel="nofollow">OpenNI</a>? if so, which version of SDK should I install (bcs I saw and also had the problem <a href="http://answers.ros.org/question/70585/roslaunch-openni_launch-opennilaunch-no-devices-connected/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Why isn't there an official announcement of compatible versions between drivers and SDK?  (or am I missing something?)</p>
  
  <p>Another issue that I might have soon is that I'm going to install pcl, and there will be a trouble described <a href="http://community.openni.org/openni/topics/open_ni_1_x_and_openni_2_in_the_same_machine_problems_with_kinect_drivers" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Why such problems cannot be avoided?</p>
  
  <p>I'm novice with Ubuntu and it's package installation</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
  
  <p>Edit 01:
  after installation of OpenNI SDK v1.5: </p>

  <p>according to another preceding post <a href="http://answers.ros.org/question/70585/roslaunch-openni_launch-opennilaunch-no-devices-connected/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, this should be proper already, But I still cannot load my OpenNI samples</p>
