    So I tried booting off the Octopi image and it doesn't work. I took it to other pis and it doesn't work. Refreshed the card, still doesn't work. Basically freezes during boot of "new high-speed USB device number 2 using dwc-otg". I've got a bazillion rpis and never had this issue. Anyone else had it?

    Is it a bad sd card?

    My card came with raspbian by default so I flashed it to OctoPrint and booted straight away no issues at all!

    No issues here as well. I just flashed the disk using the OSX terminal and the linked iso. As soon as I inserted the disk, the rpi was booting up and ready.

    So formatted the card, flashed it with octopi, via terminal in OS X (I build robots with pis so this I do all the time) and it locks up on boot. Refreshed the card with raspian and boots perfectly. Then I reformatted, readded octopi and locks up again. So then tried it all on a second pi2 on my desk which is running a testing rig, and worked, put octopi on that machine, locked up... So just doing it from source. Can't be that bad!

    Are you using the stable build or nightly?

    Also if your pi a 2 or 3 in bigbox? Would need to be nightly build for pi 3 as it's so new at moment.

    It was a pi2 (or several actually, along with multiple SDs), as I could see no compelling reason to use one of my 3's as it's not like the slow part of 3D printing is the g-code serving (and my whole house is wired with cat6, so there is a jack near the printer). Anyway, built from source perfectly, boots and runs fine (well it did until I accidentally made a typo in the sudoers file (hahaha, don't do that; no seriously!)), luckily just popped the SD onto one of my RHEL boxes, and can directly edit the file to remove the typo.

    Strangely @Pierce, the webcam doesn't autostart with the service nor does the command actually start the webcam, but from the CLI if I execute /home/pi/scripts/webcam start it works fine... It's responding on zeroconf (bigbox.local) and assuming a manual start of the cam, everything else is working great. Got the slack plugin sending custom messages to a private slack channel for me at work...

    And I will add, this XKCD seemed the most appropriate:
