@sdetweil Apologies.

@vandy2424

change the permissions owner and group
exit the editor

sudo chown jackson config.js
sudo chgrp jackson config.js

vandy2424

@sdetweil Okay I ran both of those commands.

sdetweil

@vandy2424 and try starting mm again

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

sdetweil

@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

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

sdetweil

@sdetweil I will test in the morning

vandy2424

@sdetweil Yeah sure, the output actually looks the same even though I ran those commands:

jackson@raspberrypi:~/Documents/MagicMirror/config $ ls -laF
total 20
drwxr-xr-x  2 jackson jackson 4096 Feb  9 19:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x 18 jackson jackson 4096 Feb  2 10:27 ../
-rwxrwxrwx  1 jackson jackson 1998 Feb  9 19:19 config.js*
-rw-r--r--  1 jackson jackson 3534 Feb  2 10:27 config.js.sample
-rw-r--r--  1 jackson jackson 1024 Feb  2 12:12 .config.js.swp

And wow, its incredible you were able to find that. Thanks so much for the continuous help. Hopefully we are close!
