          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?

              @ggfuzzy Where is that file? I’m too much of a noob to find it :D

              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

                I get the the message:
                Error in calendar module. Check logs for more details.

                ERROR] Calendar Error. Could not fetch calendar: http://localhost:8080/modules/0505190Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ics Error: Not Found
                at NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/node_helper.js:121:9)

                it would be awesome if somebody can help me.

                  modules/0505190Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.ics

                  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.”

                      @spor4 that file should just be text

                      u can edit it
                      it should look like this layout

                      BEGIN:VCALENDAR
                      BEGIN:VEVENT
                      ...
                      END:VEVENT
                      repeat for all events
                      END:VCALENDAR

                        @sdetweil sorry for asking stupid (total noob), I should edit the .ics file with the text editor into this?
                        If I do so it says Error in calendar module. Check logs for more details. again

                        BEGIN:VCALENDAR
                        BEGIN:VEVENT
                        …
                        END:VEVENT
                        repeat for all events
                        END:VCALENDAR
