      @vandy2424 ok the updatenotification and helloworld modules come from the js/defaults.js

      I don’t see the path yet that does both.

                exit the editor

                sudo chown jackson config.js

                      @sdetweil The calendar module still says loading… Everything else is the same as it was. Both logs show exactly the same as well.

                        @vandy2424 can you confirm the permissions change?

                        ls -laF

                        I can explain it

                        access to the file fails at startup time
                        fs.accessSync() js/app.js, line 117
                        so defaults is used… thats node helpers

                        Screenshot_20240209_204637_Chrome.jpg

                        file is loaded in the browser anyhow(index.html), and that controls module loading in browser
