MMM-CalendarExt3 and MMM-MonthlyCalendar blank

@Scott-M this is confusing… by default the system is setup for wayland/labwc,
not x11 (which npm start does)

just another test, using manual install into another folder

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror.git fribble
cd fribble
npm run install-mm
npm start 

if that fails then try erasing the saved electron info

cd ~
rm -rf .config/Electron
cd MagicMirror 
npm start 

you try the fribble directory too

Sorry, same result with both of those, doesn’t get past the starting server message.

System info:

sudo cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model;echo
cat /etc/os-release

I do have an SD with a working MagicMirror on it, installed exactly the same was a couple of weeks ago.

I have just going to try another fresh install of bookworm, update / upgrade and then manually install nodejs and npm and MagicMirror ans see what happens. Don’t expect a different result but will see what happens.

@Scott-M @sdetweil

So, it works installing manually, bash history…:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot now
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y
sudo apt install npm
git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror
cd MagicMirror
npm run install-mm
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
npm start

The install log from the one that doesn’t run is here if that helps at all.

[sdetweil]

@Scott-M very interesting… only thing I can see different is the sandbox permissions

I don’t have time til later today to examine any more…

thanks for the feedback

[Scott-M]

@sdetweil OK, I will keep the various SD cards with working and non working version for a while just in case it would be of help.

[sdetweil]

@Scott-M thanks… appreciate that

[Scott-M]

@sdetweil

I had one more attempt at this, this time I ran an update and upgrade before running your script and this time it worked. Cannot see why that would be…

Happy to experiment more if you need more info but I am going to start on building the 2 way mirror now!

[sdetweil]

@Scott-M and my script does that before too, its in the install.log file

[Scott-M]

@sdetweil
I am sorry if this has been a wild goose chase and a waste of your time. I flashed the SD card, ran the script several times and it didn’t work, I will try one more time tomorrow and leave it at that.

Random results from repeating the same process are very frustrating.

[sdetweil]

@Scott-M frustrating indeed

but its normal
