So the packages didn’t work on my new MINT install…. so I needed to make from the tar. Now I am getting some openal errors… mostly in the SoundContext.cpp and .h files. Make is complaining about how it can’t find a field named aLDevice or aLContext. Not sure what to do…. has anyone gotten this to work on a recent build either from package or compile? I am happy to change what I do to get the code to work.

Can confirm that the new Vrui version installs packages correctly, so I no longer need to apply my corrections to compile Vrui.

Unfortunately my error still remains:

enversed@zandbak:~$ KinectUtil getCalib 0
Downloading factory calibration data for Kinect A00361802428039A...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  Kinect::Camera::getCalibrationParameters: Protocol error while requesting parameter subset
Aborted (core dumped)

I noticed that with the new Vrui update, my PC was missing udev-related packages. However after updating I still get the above error. Could this be related?

I’m getting the same error as jdelaat just wanted to see if anyone found a solution…

I wrote a post how I think I may have fixed the KinectUtil getCalib 0 function not writing the intrinsic parameters file. I rewrote part of the Camera.cpp file and recompiled it and it seems to be working now. You can read more on my thread here

Thank you @okreylos !

I’ll delete my forum thread about it so it doesn’t cause any confusion in the future.

Hi, I have zero experience with Ubuntu, I’m a teacher, I don’t know what I’m doing and I’m trying to get this to work to use with kids at school. Hopefully someone out there can help us out, we’d very much appreciate it.

I followed the instructions in this thread and everything seemed to install OK, I got the messages ‘Package Vrui, version 12.2, successfully installed’, ‘Package Kinect, version 4.2, successfully installed’ and ‘Package SARndbox, version 3.2, successfully installed’ in the terminal and I have icons on the desktop.

I have the original Kinect for the Xbox360 (model 1414) and the light on it blinks green when I plug it in to the PC (it’s running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS). When I try to run RawKinectViewer it tells me I have fewer than one 3D cameras connected to the host. I noticed it says, ‘Support for Microsoft Kinect v2 (Kinect-for-Xbox-One) enabled’ in what was returned in the terminal, so I imagine that might be why my Kinect isn’t recognised? If anybody has any ideas about what I need to do to get the Kinect recognised (and any other tips) I’d very much like to hear about it.
Thanks
