Can't open Theta Z1 - Recognized as storage device

Hello,
I’m trying to connect a Ricoh Theta V on Ubuntu 22.04 using the following repositories:
https://github.com/ricohapi/libuvc-theta-sample
https://github.com/ricohapi/libuvc-theta
Furthermore, my intention is to pass the camera’s path when creating a Docker container with Ubuntu 20.04, so i can access the camera in it, so then i can use an integration with ROS Noetic. However, i’ve read some tutorials to set up the environment for the camera on Ubuntu, such as the one in https://community.theta360.guide/t/linux-getting-started/10945, but when i try to run gst_viewer, it has returned that the theta camera was found, but cannot be opened. The camera is connected and on live mode:

When i try to type lsusb, i get the following results:


In a previous topic, i’ve read that it should’nt return 2715, but 2712, as it is recognized as an storage device.

I’m not sure if i missed some step, or the error is caused by some kind of incompatibility with Ubuntu 22.04. I also tried to install the Gstreamer theta UVC Plugin

I reassured that it was correctly installed, but i get the same error that theta was found, but cannot be opened.

I’d appreciate if i could get any help towards this situation.

Check for redundant version of libuvc and uninstall the original version so that the app you wrote only uses patched version
