Connection timed out installing openni_kinect on electric

Question

I have been following the wiki tutorial regarding setting up openni_kinect on electric ubuntu 10.04

I am up to step 2.2 with the ubuntu installation and have tried hg clone https://kforge.ros.org/openni/drivers and I get the error abort: error: Connection timed out

Does anyone know why this is happening?

kforge.ros.org has been down for a long time now. Also, Fuerte is EOL.

Do you have any particular reason for choosing those versions specifically?

Answer 1

The Ubuntu installation (2.1) and the source-based installation (2.2) are mutually exclusive - you should only do one.

I've updated the wiki page to reflect this.
