all instances are in failed state after upgrading to ubuntu 24.04

all my instances are in failed state after upgrading to ubuntu 24.04. It seems to be related to python 3.12. Any idea how to fix this.

It is indeed the issue. It is a bit pathetic that Canonical doesn't have python 3.10/11 available in the the repos.

You will have to reinstall plugins (though all your plugin settings will be retained):
python3 -m venv /home/$USER/OctoPrint
/home/$USER/OctoPrint/bin/pip install --upgrade pip
/home/$USER/OctoPrint/bin/pip install wheel
/home/$USER/OctoPrint/bin/pip install OctoPrint

Then reboot or sudo systemctl restart instancename
