      @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

        at NodeHelper.checkFetchStatus (/home/pi/MagicMirror/js/node_helper.js:121:9)

          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

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

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