What is the problem?

Octoprint does not load. I get The OctoPrint server is currently not running

  • Verify that the process is running: ps -ef | grep -i octoprint | grep -i python should show a python process:

pi@octopi:~ $ ps -ef | grep -i octoprint | grep -i python
pi 1441 1 6 11:12 ? 00:00:15 /home/pi/oprint/bin/python
/home/pi/oprint/bin/octoprint --host=127.0.0.1 --port=5000

What did you already try to solve it?

I searched through what I could on here.

I have tried reflashing image, manually downloading image, restarting, updating via | oprint/bin/pip install -U octoprint | which says [notice] A new release of pip is available: 25.0.1 -> 25.3
[notice] To update, run: python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then it says pi@HammyPi:~ $ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
error: externally-managed-environment

Tried updating with ~/oprint/bin/pip install --force-reinstall OctoPrint==x.x.x --no-cache-dir

other commands to restart state illegal instruction.

Have you tried running in safe mode?

illegal instruction

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

no

Systeminfo Bundle

You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)

Additional information about your setup

OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible

I am trying to convert an ender 3 s1 to a wireless machine and potentially run klipper. I picked up a raspberry pi zero 2 w from the ZON and have been having "Fun" ever since.

Try these commands in SSH.

source ~/oprint/bin/activate
pip install pydantic_core==2.41.4
pip install --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir octoprint
octoprint serve

and report back any errors/messages that you get along the way. there have been a couple of reports from users on Discord related to zero 2 W and gen 1 pi b+ that had similar errors. haven't nailed down a complete solution yet.

Apologies, missed a character in the first command. Edited above, try with the updated comment.

We have some movement, it looks like its downloading pydantic cores now
