Default Calendar stuck on loading

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil

I apologize for my ignorance. Im a noob but I learn quickly. Im using firefox not chromium

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik i’m confused, that is running my run-start script,
but setup for chromium not firefox.

if you are using this script and want firefox then you have to add the
export external_browser=firefox
before you do npm start

else my script will just loop

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil after running your script I did the following

sudo apt-get remove chromium-browser
sudo apt autoremove

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-esr

cd ~/MagicMirror
export external_browser=firefox
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixuppm2.sh)”

cd ~/MagicMirror/
pm2 start MagicMirror

@sdetweil

This is what I get from npm start now after running

export external_browser=firefox
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil This came after that. Its just stuck here now

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik did firefox come up? those messages are from the server side

but they were initiated by the browser side so some browser started loading the page from the server

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Yes, it came up and is running. Everything is working except the calendar. Just stuck at loading…

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik and there should be messages on the server side

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Strangly I didnt see any fetch messages for the calendar.

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik interesting, can you show messages after
the point your browser at message

those would be after the browser loads the web page

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil This is as far as it goes. for some reason I dont get “Create new calendarfetcher for url:”

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik weird

can you
open the developers window and find the console tab and see if there is an error

i don’t know for sure how to do that on firefox. i will check it out in the morning running this way

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil Definitely appears to be some errors in the console. Its CTRL + SHIFT + I to access it in Firefox

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik thanks will review

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik OK i tested on my desktop ubuntu, and on pi4 with latest PI os (bookworm) 64bit.

I do not see that

what machine are you on? can u show the startup info section

this output comes after Launching application

@rushmuzik

given the error you showed, can you try list change

edit MagicMirror/js/server.js
and down at the bottom

	this.close = function () {
		return new Promise((resolve) => {
			for (const socket of serverSockets.values()) {
				socket.close();   //<--- add this line
				socket.destroy();
			}

save and restart MagicMirror

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil This is what I’m using. with Firefox ESR as the browser because Chromium and regular firefox are no longer supported on a Pi zero. Also, I’m using an API to connect to my Tempest weather station and that works fine. In addition all the other default modules work as they should except for calendar.

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik pi zero. ok… let me set that up

[rushmuzik]

@sdetweil These are the steps I followed to set it up

[sdetweil]

@rushmuzik ok, but because you said yes on step 2 to pm2
you don’t need step 8 as it causes a duplicate app definition, which will cause TWO to start

pm2 status 

will show you the apps defined
