We got a 2nd printer so bought a second Raspberry Pi. I installed OctoPi on it and then restored a backup of the other OctoPrint device. Had to change a few things and reset UUIDs and such but otherwise it is running fine.
However, I have since found that the 2nd setup of OctoPrint is unable to update any of the 3rd party plugins. I get notified that they need updated and I click to update them and see a bunch of red go by and then the server reboots. They are still showing the old version.
My first thought was maybe a permissions problem? Where are plugins stored that I can compare between the two?
Any other thoughts on how to resolve this?
I also thought I could just copy the plugins from the first setup to the second when they need updated.
I imagine this is probably a simple problem.
Thanks!

Forgot to attach the system info as well.

That's a weird one. For some reason your plugins aren't showing the full package name.

If you SSH to the pi and run the following command, what is returned for these packages?
/home/pi/oprint/bin/pip freeze | grep dashboard
/home/pi/oprint/bin/pip freeze | grep toapp
So, looking through the logs myself I think the plugins are here: /home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.9/site-packages
I looked on the 1st Octoprint and all the files/folders were owned by "pi".
I looked on the 2nd Octoprint and some of the files/folders were owned by "root". I have a hunch that the first time I did a restore I was logged in as root and then anything I did after that as pi was probably blocked.
I reset the owner on all the files/folders there to pi and will see what that does. Can't verify at the moment since I am currently printing.
@jneilliii Nothing actually.

My bad, did not include the full path to pip...

Yeah, looks like something in the venv site packages got corrupted somehow. You may have to manually delete those folders and reinstall those two plugins. You could run ls /home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.9/site-packages/* to get the folder names and verify they are named -ctoprint-printtimegenius, -ctoprint-dashboard, and -ctoapp, then use this to manually remove them.
rm -r /home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.9/site-packages/-ctoprint-printtimegenius
rm -r /home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.9/site-packages/-ctoprint-dashboard
rm -r /home/pi/oprint/lib/python3.9/site-packages/-ctoapp
then restart OctoPrint sudo service octoprint restart and then try installing them again from plugin manager.
@jneilliii
I got the Print Time Genius working ok after uninstalling all 3 then removing the directories, restarting and re-installing. But OctoApp and Dashboard were both re-installed and still refuse to update to the latest and still getting the warning messages.

I may retry the process in the morning and see if I can get the other ones fixed.
I don't see the "temp" directories anymore, just the actuals.

I will clear out the ~ directories in the morning and see if it goes back to normal.
This morning I uninstalled the Dashboard and OctoApp plugins and deleted all the directories including those two ~ ones. Rebooted. Re-installed the plugins and now all is good. They are running the latest versions and no updates are available anymore.
Thank you for your help!
