@lynncodd I have never tested the Kinect driver with a 32 bit system, so I cannot comment if the groovy driver ever worked correctly on it or if my answer below is correct.
There were problems with the earlier versions of openni-dev and nite-dev. The ROS repos now contained updated packages libopenni-dev and libopenni-sensor-primesense-dev which were pulled in when you installed ros-groovy-openni-launch. Furthermore these packages would have remove your previous openni packages. It may be possible that these packages do not work on a 32 bit system.
Try removing these packages from your system and reinstall the original OpenNI drivers that worked for you.
32 bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Installed OpenNI v1.5.4.0 Installed NITE v1.5.2.21 Installed Sensor Kinect v5.1.2.1
Once done, I was able to run NiViewer just fine. I was also able to run other utilities that use the standalone OpenNI.
Because I also wanted to run some ROS groovy packages, I installed ros-groovy-openni-launch. When I go back to run ./NiViewer using the standalone OpenNI, I get the following error:
Open failed: Device Protocol: Bad Parameter sent! Press any key to continue . . .
Even if I remove ros-groovy-openni-launch, ./NiViewer still no longer works. What did installing that package do that is causing the standalone OpenNI or my Kinect Sensor to not be recognized?
