        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

              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.

                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

                        @spor4 no. you are going to look at the generated ics file and see if it contains the format I described
