Protonect works, iai_kinect2 repeatedly crashes and restarts. #132
https://github.com/code-iai/iai_kinect2/issues/132
same thing happened to me. installed image_pipleline and it worked.
https://github.com/ros-perception/image_pipeline
to install just:
git clone
https://github.com/ros-perception/image_pipeline
rosdep install -r --from-paths .
catkin_make
sudo apt-get install ros-indigo-image-pipeline.
