    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

          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)

            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
