              Went through all the steps in the tutorial (including the modification to set the .service file to point to where vdirsyncer really lives [Thanks @Beh !]). Everything works, except that my .ics files are empty (0 length). I saw a reference to this early in the forum comments, but the poster said they eventually started working with no reason for the change. Anyone have any ideas?

                  Seems like I got to work again.

                  First of all, I installed vdirsyncer via
                  “sudo apt-get install vdirsyncer”,
                  and not using pip.

                  Second the command to start the systemd timer
                  systemctl --user enable vdirsyncer.timer
                  did not work at all. When typing
                  systemctl --user status vdirsyncer.timer
                  It always said the timer was dead. So I started it with its start command:
                  systemctl --user start vdirsyncer.timer

                  Third, I made the modification to vdirsyncer.service as suggested by @Beh
                  Run

                  which vdirsyncer
                  

                  And remember the path. After, edit the vdirsyncer.service file

                  sudo nano /etc/systemd/user/vdirsyncer.service
                  

                  Correct the right path after “ExecStart”. My .service file looks like this:

                  [Unit]
                  Description=Synchronize calendars and contacts
                  Documentation=https://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/
                  
                  [Service]
                  ExecStart=/home/pi/.local/bin/vdirsyncer sync
                  RuntimeMaxSec=3m
                  Restart=on-failure

                      where did the syncher put the ics file… cause its not there
                      ps, on linux/raspina all filenames are case sensitive

                      cd ~/MagicMirror/modules

                      ls -laF
                      to see the file list

                        thank you very much. I moved the file to /modules and not it is working. Unfortunately now it says “no upcoming events.”
