Problem Statement

 * Getting ROS to recognize on Kinect on various operating systems.

Putting ROS on Ubuntu via Virtual Machine

 * Went to ros.org and followed the install these instructions.
 * Copy the file (echo "source /opt/ros/groovy/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc) into the Ubuntu terminal. This will download all of the ROS files into Ubuntu. All the files might not download if Ubuntu is not connected to the internet and Ubuntu is not updated. After Ubuntu is updated and connected to the internet all the files will be on Ubuntu.
 * Went to Ubuntu and went through all of the files that were downloaded. The files will not operate if the internet is not connected to Ubuntu. These files are important in order to communicate with the Kinect.
 * 1.Went to the internet settings in Ubuntu. Had the computer hooked directly to the internet (wired). Saw that ubuntu was not recognizing that there was an internet connection. Windows was already hooked up to the internet. Restarted my computer with out removing the wired internet. When turned back on Ubuntu still did not recolonize an internet connection.
 * 2.In the terminal of Ubuntu typed sudo lshw -C network in order to see if Ubuntu was connected to the internet. Was supposed to get "claimed", "unclaimed" "enable" or "disable". I did not get any of these words.

Next Steps

 * Continue to follow the install instructions and explore ROS.
