How to get the Kinect running on Ubuntu 14.10/OpenCV 2.4.10 [closed]

edit

I am on a new Ubuntu installation and cannot get my Kinect to work.

the examples and my own code always produce the following error:

CvCapture_OpenNI::CvCapture_OpenNI : Failed to run xml script: Bad Parameter sent to the device!

My steps so far:
- installed freenect via sudo apt-get install libfreenect-dev
- installed primesense via sudo apt-get install libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev
- compiled opencv 2.4.10 from source with "WITH_OPENNI=ON" in ccmake
- i am able to use freenect-glview from command line so my kinect seems to work
- lsusb output :
