What is the problem?
The pip command could not be found or does not work correctly for this installation of OctoPrint - please consult the log file for details and if necessary configure it manually. No installation and uninstallation of plugin packages is possible while pip is unavailable.
I have Ubuntu running in a virtual box with a few of my other servers (bad idea I know but I have snapshots/backups in case something go's south). I have the service running and up so I can access it and it was communicating with my printer / printing something earlier but was very slow then later when I tried to play with Octoprint again it wouldn't communicate with it anymore?
What did you already try to solve it?
Reinstalling Python / Pip and googling the error. I also attempted to correct the read problem with sudo chmod 775 OctoPrint and on .octoprint as well.
Checking comm settings will restart the server when I get home to see if this fix's the comm issue..
Logs (octoprint.log, serial.log or output on terminal tab at a minimum, browser error console if UI issue ... no logs, no support!)

Additional information about your setup (OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible)
OctoPrint 1.3.12, not on a Pi so I assume no Octopi version, Printer is a Ender 3 Pro, don't have access to my printer firmware atm, Browsers Firefox/Chrome, Operations System Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS Bionic and I do have this running in a Virtualbox. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also can I convert slice lts files using octopi or do I need to use a external slicer like Cura? Thanks again for all the hard work you guys do!
