Octolapse Install not working eventhough Plugins are installed

[JZiZu]

Hi! I am very thankfull this project was set up because of the prices of the RaspberryPis.
I hav now installed the new Version of Octo4a (1.2.0) on my old Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) with Android 8.0.0 installed.
The server itself is working right now and I installed the plugin extras but when I try to install Octolapse I am getting many errors and it fails installing.
error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1 [end of output] note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip. error: legacy-install-failure × Encountered error while trying to install package. ╰─> Octolapse note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip. hint: See above for output from the failure. Fehler! Could not parse output from pip, see plugin_pluginmanager_console.log for generated output
This is what I get at the end in the logs.
Have anyone else faced this problem yet? Or am I missing something?

Hi, Just an idea
In the app, in the settings menu, check the option called "install plugin extras". Try that option and let us know if it helps.

or your phone is scrwed or full of useless stuff. did you revert to factory default your old phone ?

[JZiZu]

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
Thats my problem. These extras are installed and my phone was reset to factory defaults before...
Any ideas?

I believe I'm having the same issue while installing the Octolapse plugin. I have o4a's plugin extras installed.
The Remix box I'm using does have potentially 'useless stuff' installed but it doesn't have its own camera. (see my other thread)
The timelapse config in Octoprint is not getting a test snapshot to work as of yet, so maybe that is part of the problem, but I can't get to the point of tweaking Octolapse's camera settings because the install of the plugin keeps failing.

[lmichoux]

can you enable ssh, then ssh to your phone using any ssh client, and check the logs issuing the following commands:
cd .octoprint/logs
ls -al
cat plugin_pluginmanager_console.log

About the end of the log file should get more info.
You can post here the result if this does not speak to you.

[sv0o]

I don't have to ssh. I downloaded through the octoprint logging interface. It's not speaking to me.

plugin_pluginmanager_console.log

[lmichoux]

Looks like you have a known issue.
see here for more details.
pypa/pip#8559
You are missing some packages like "wheel". Without this you cannot install and compile stuff during installation.
I think the quick fix is to try another version of the octolapse package.

You can try this to update missing wheel package

pip3 install --upgrade setuptools wheel tornado --no-cache-dir

Then rerun your install.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply! That seemed to do something but I guess something is still missing.

plugin_pluginmanager_console.log
I think that's what's happening to me as well.

On last thing. I am not much in code and dependencies, but It could be that you are installing a too recent dependency tree on a too old phone.
Have you tried latest v03 version of octolapse ?
pip install https://github.com/FormerLurker/Octolapse/archive/v0.3.4.zip

[sv0o]

no I might try that. At the moment the latest Octolapse runs great on my octo4A instance on an LG G4 phone. It installed without any issues there and if I want a cool timelapse, I can go back to that. I'm currently trying the dual octo4A setup I described in a different discussion for reliablity issues. I want to read through all of the differences between 0.3 and 0.4 releases to see if it is worth the time.

but Octolapse hasn't been updated in more than two years. It seems like it's overdue.

[JZiZu]

Now something interesting happened. It installed but after installing it can not be activated in the Puluginmanager because it is saying that it is not compatible with my Octoprint or Python Version...

[lmichoux]

Hi,
I think I reproduced your issue. my last suggestion, to downgrade to lower version is not good, it is better to fix latest.
There are some changes to be done to get latest octolapse running on latest octo4a.
I found issues with gcc and python.
I managed to get it running on my old Lenny5 phone.
Here is a summary of my actions, I think everything is there :
1st) to restart from clean / on the phone, clean octo4a APK memory and cache and uninstall / reinstall
2nd) install recommended plugins on your phone + enable SSH & start server
3rd) from ssh, unzip octolapse manually
wget wget https://github.com/eyal0/OctoPrint-PrintTimeGenius/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd Octolapse-master
pip3 install LooseVersion
pip3 install setuptools -U
here: edit setup.py
as LooseVersion is not working so here is the dirty fix.comment out lines : 59/60,
#if LooseVersion(octoprint.server.VERSION) < LooseVersion("1.4"):

plugin_requires.extend(["flask_principal>=0.4,<1.0"])

again, in settup.py line 54/55 / this line syntax is not recognized, pillow is called Pillow but it does not work / outdated, replace :
#plugin_requires = ["Pillow >=6.2.0<7.0.0", "sarge", "six", "OctoPrint>1.3.8", "psutil", "file_read_backwards",

"setuptools>=6.0", "awesome-slugify>=1.6.5,<1.7"]

by this small line (that is now recognised) :
plugin_requires = ["six"]
Install any missing package manually with pip3
pip3 install file_read_backwards

to fix the error: converting to 'bool' from 'std::nullptr_t' requires direct-initialization [-fpermissive]
this is because GCC version is now too restrictive, edit octoprint_octolapse/data/lib/c/gcode_position_processor.cpp
replace return NULL;
by return false;

4. compile octolapse
   cd Octolapse-master (is you are not already)
   pip3 install .

5. restart octoprint / and now you should get octolapse menu not working... it is time to fix then fix settings issues because of python 3.10
   see Importing ABC directly from collections has been removed in Python 3.10 in favor of collections.abc dropbox/PyHive#392 for details. Importing ABC directly from collections has been removed in Python 3.10 in favor of collections.abc

so edit /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/octoprint_octolapse/settings.py
replace line 37
import collections
by
from collections.abc import Iterable

then, in the rest of document replace ALL occurences of "collections.Iterable" by "Iterable"
exemple : if not isinstance(iterable, Iterable):

There are some other .py files with same issue, perform same change to make sure it is more stable.

6. restart octoprint / configure your printer & stuff. should work.

Tell me if OK.
I hope this will help the developers fixing this instance.

Is there a way to simplify these instructions any further? you're losing me at the third step.

[sv0o]

These instructions are meant for someone with experience in bash and busybox if not Alpine. I had to figure out how to install vim for editing and then get some vim tips with google searches. I stumbled through the third step and I might have done it right. After the fourth step, Octoprint shows the octolapse tab, but when I do the fifth step, octolapse disappears.

After a couple of failed tries, I confirmed that he's saying to comment out two lines each time in setup.py

I don't know for certain if " compile octolapse" is its own step or if it describes " install . "

It's been a known issue for octolapse
See FormerLurker/Octolapse#872

Hey, did you mean wget octolapse?

Hey, did you mean wget octolapse?

don't bother, a-c-m rolled all the fixes into a fork of octolapse. See #373 (comment)

[rodrigo-ceccato]

Oh, sweet. Thanks
