most common issue is, in linux the usb - serial interface it is owned by dialout group, so to fix it, add your user to that group by running this: sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

@@CNCTinker Thank you for the reply. I've tried this with no success. I think its definitely a problem with the usb interface because during the installation octoprint found my webcam but has an error as well in the ipaddress:5000 screen

@@loudroarTV things you can check: run lsusb in console before and after you plug something in usb to find the device then run sudo dmesg | tail - last lines will be you usb device being detected. It might be that you dont have a driver for them. Might try to install this to give you extra drivers if a driver is not loaded in dmesg log: sudo apt install firmware-misc-nonfree
