OctoPrint TouchUI 3d Printer error software update

OctoPrint

Fixed an odd issue today when I clicked the update button on octoprint for touchUI- my TouchUI BROKE!  Error message – Touch UI “Installing the plugin from URL “unknown” failed: Could not parse output from pip touchui”

The only fix I found was to manually dump the TouchUI  octoprint plugin 🙁 

pop up shows –URL “unknown” failed: Could not parse output from pip touchui”

You will need to go the home folder and find your pi user where you installed OctoPrint – and it you need to manually remove the  TouchUI pluginGet ride of the old Touch UI that can not be updated and gives error

From your octoprint server terminal   — ssh or from the console terminal

1. 1. cd ~/oprint/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
      
      Then use the below  commands removes the  2 folders with the touch UI settings and their contents
      
      rm -rf octoprint_touchui/
      
      rm -rf TouchUI-0.3.6-py2.7.egg-info/
      
      

1. 1. 
      Restart octoprint server

      sudo service octoprint restart
       
      

1. 1. From the octoprint server go to settings -
      plugin manger and re download TouchUI
       
      

1. restart octoprint again

   sudo service octoprint restart
    
   

Happy to stay the above removal and then the reinstall of the plugin after the restart – fixed my issue.  ( PS find -name touchui helped find with the config files lived. )

TouchUI — ITS BACK
