MagicMirror using the wrong time
-
@sdetweil I have a script that moves the MM directory to backup, gets rid of the various package-lock.json files, then does a git pull && npm install --only=prod --omit=dev
-
@blissb ok. see these
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scriptsand
https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore
I’m wondering if the npm install in the vendor folder failed. that is where moment is loaded
the fact that clock and weather and calendar are all messed up., is pretty interesting
-
I renamed the MagicMirror directory, and re-installed using the install script – iirc that’s what I used initially.
Sadly, no change.
Giving up for now – may poke at it more tomorrow. Thanks again.

@blissb would you be willing to share your config.js, send to me as a text file
same userid as here, at gmail
-
I think I can do that. I’ll send it after work.

If this is a red-herring / rabbit-hole, I apologize in advance. I haven’t done any javascript in 10+ years… all this is sorcery to me. :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I configured it to allow remote access via a browser on my desktop machine. On the pi running the newer (wrong time) version of MM, the browser displays the correct time, while the pi displays the wrong time. That’s kind of fascinating to me… clearly the browser is calculating the times on its own.
-
@blissb yes, someone else reported similar issue
the Midori/Firefox only work if the start line is changed in package.json
-
@blissb would you be willing to send me one of the extracted ics files
curl -sL the cal_url >somefile.ics.txtbecause those are the ones causing the shift problem…
I want to see how the ICS is codedsame email ias the config
-
@sdetweil I sent the ics file – forgot to rename it with .txt. Let me know if I need to resend.

@blissb I have it. need to test.
-
@blissb i can’t recreate it on any system…
if you’ve got time, could you make another sde card and reinstall mm using my script?
and use your config.js -
@sdetweil Just wanted to let you know, I’m working on this between other tasks. I’m also prepping for the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow, so if I don’t get it finished tonight, it may be Friday before I get back with you.
-
@blissb no rush. when/if you have time

@sdetweil
I’m having some really odd problems with the raspbian install. Starting to wonder about the hardware. It’s a RPi 2B that’s been rock solid for years, but for whatever reason it won’t boot from any newly flashed SD card - though it boots fine from the original.I have another one in a box somewhere. I’ll pull it out and give it a try – I’d hate to think I’ve wasted your time over flakey hardware – but the fact that the other one is working as expected with the previous MM version makes me think (hope!) that’s not the case.
I’ll definitely keep you posted!

@sdetweil
I pulled out another Pi, flashed the OS and installed MM using the script you referenced earlier. It’s working perfectly. I’m still completely baffled. I’ve triple checked on the original SD image - it works as expected on the previous version of MM, but not on the current one… Ah well –Thank you for taking so much time to look into this, and I am sorry for having wasted so much of your time.
-
@blissb not wasted time, interesting problem.
glad we’ve found something that resolves it.thank for your feedback
-
@sdetweil I’m chiming in a bit late here. Has there been any more widespread report of calendar times being off? Mine worked flawless for years then the past few months times are off, presumably UTC as mentioned in this thread.
I’m having a hard time seeing what the actual solution was?
Thanks so much in advance!
-
@jasonumd so far, every time events have been off, the system timezone has not been set correctly…
note that a docker container is its own system and needs ITS timezone set too…
what changed since it worked to now?
-
@sdetweil I changed absolutely nothing. Just applied regular MM updates. I will investigate those two settings ASAP.
