MM modules not displaying or no longer refresh after restart

[A Former User]

Hi All

Need to request some help if I may. It seems my MM has stopped functioning and I can’t
figure out why, rather frustratingly.
Started yesterday after some seemingly innocuous changes I made to config.js (adding MMM-random quote which has now been removed)

Issues as follows:

• Default clock displays but does not refresh beyond restart
• Default weather forecast does not display
• Calendar monthly displays intermittently on refresh or remains “Loading…”
• Default news feed does not display

I have run npm run config:check and confirm that there are no syntax errors (presumably would’ve seen black screen otherwise)

I have also run pm2 info MagicMirror and get the following output which I believe shows no obvious issues;

Really at a loss as to what the problem is and considered entire reinstallation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated so please let me know if more info is required.

Did you enter the proper module name for the calendar?
Try to comment calendar out to see if it works without.

@Charley

Thanks for the suggestion.

1. Which calendar do you mean? There’s default (bottom left) and there’s calendar-monthly (top left).

2. when you say comment out, do you mean the name or the entire module?

[Charley]

I would say calendar monthly

Every line from the first { until the last }
Just type // before if it runs that points to the module That holds the rest.

@Charley

Thanks for the suggestions.
Bizarrely I didn’t need to do anything, just left pi off for a few days whilst I worked on some other projects.
Switched on this afternoon and everything is perfect again.

Weird

@lodown It sounds like you had a temporary network interruption. Everything that you listed as a problem requires a network pull to update. Except the clock, which is just weird. Even the time synchronization failing due to a network interruption shouldn’t affect the clock.

@bhepler
Got it! I did wonder whether that might be it but the outages were so ridiculously coincidental with the changes I was making that I had to wonder whether I had broken something.

Happy to report that everything is still working as expected at this time.

Thanks all for the suggestions.
