      Thanks for your comment.
      First I changed the port as recommended in mm/config/config.js to 8081 and gave it a reboot.
      After reboot and logon I checked the network connections by sudo netstat -lnptu:

      pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo netstat -lnptu
      Aktive Internetverbindungen (Nur Server)
      Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

      tcp6       0      0 :::21                   :::*                    LISTEN      418/vsftpd          
      tcp6       0      0 ::1:3350                :::*                    LISTEN      446/xrdp-sesman     
      tcp6       0      0 :::3389                 :::*                    LISTEN      461/xrdp            
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5353            0.0.0.0:*                           318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:68              0.0.0.0:*                           348/dhcpcd          
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:47216           0.0.0.0:*                           318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp6       0      0 :::5353                 :::*                                318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp6       0      0 :::34261                :::*                                318/avahi-daemon: r 
      

      I am surprised to see Electron already listening on port 8081, though I have not started the MagicMirror.
      In the next step I launch Magic Mirror by calling: npm start &

      Unfortunately I see again a EADDRINUSE message (port 8081):

      Server started ...
      Connecting socket for: updatenotification

      Sockets connected & modules started ...
      Whoops! There was an uncaught exception...

        syscall: 'listen',
        address: '127.0.0.1',
        port: 8081 }
      MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection?
      If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues
      Launching application.
      

      While the mirror is running I execute again sudo netstat -lnptu and get:

      pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ sudo netstat -lnptu
      Aktive Internetverbindungen (Nur Server)

      tcp6       0      0 ::1:3350                :::*                    LISTEN      450/xrdp-sesman     
      tcp6       0      0 :::3389                 :::*                    LISTEN      465/xrdp            
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:42644           0.0.0.0:*                           318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5353            0.0.0.0:*                           318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:68              0.0.0.0:*                           354/dhcpcd          
      udp6       0      0 :::42148                :::*                                318/avahi-daemon: r 
      udp6       0      0 :::5353                 :::*                                318/avahi-daemon: r 
      

      This is strange. The launch of the mirror npm start & tells me a multiple use of the port 8080 or 8081 (whatever it set in config.js) but netstat -lnptu does not know anything about a duplicate use.

      As advised I also added below line right after if (event.type === “VEVENT”) { in ftp://192.168.178.36/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/default/calendar/calendarfetcher.js

      console.log("have event title="+event.summary);
      

      Unfortunately the console outcome again is: “EADDRINUSE”

          Thanks for your advise. After launching the mirror I do a pm2 list with the following result:

          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ pm2 list
          +-------------------------------------------------------+
          ¦ Name        ¦ id ¦ mode ¦ status ¦ ? ¦ cpu ¦ memory   ¦
          +-------------+----+------+--------+---+-----+----------¦
          ¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ online ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 2.5 MB   ¦
          +-------------------------------------------------------+
           Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app
          

          With this information I stop the MagicMirror by the following command: pm2 stop 0

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 stop 0
          [PM2] Applying action stopProcessId on app [0](ids: 0)
          [PM2] [MagicMirror](0) ?
          +------------------------------------------------------+
          ¦ Name        ¦ id ¦ mode ¦ status  ¦ ? ¦ cpu ¦ memory ¦
          +-------------+----+------+---------+---+-----+--------¦
          ¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ stopped ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 0 B    ¦
          +------------------------------------------------------+
          Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app
          
          

          By surprise the running MagicMirror survives and I kill the Electron instance with kill
          After the MagicMirror instance is terminated I relaunch MagicMirror again with npm start &
          The funny thing is that the naughty EADDRINUSE message is gone by now, but the calendar is still not working:

          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start &
          [2] 1279
          [1]   Fertig                  npm start
          pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror $ 
          > magicmirror@2.7.1 start /home/pi/MagicMirror
          > sh run-start.sh

          OK, as said above I have relaunched the mirror by npm start & and try to evaluate what is going on with pm2 list:

          pi@raspberrypi:~ $ pm2 list
          +------------------------------------------------------+
          ¦ Name        ¦ id ¦ mode ¦ status  ¦ ? ¦ cpu ¦ memory ¦
          +-------------+----+------+---------+---+-----+--------¦
          ¦ MagicMirror ¦ 0  ¦ fork ¦ stopped ¦ 0 ¦ 0%  ¦ 0 B    ¦
          +------------------------------------------------------+
           Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app
          

          It’s funny, pm2 list tells me that the Mirror has stopped, while it is still running, but I still do not recieve any Calendar updates.
          What is wrong here?

              Thanks a lot, - this helped :-) , it is so much easier if things are done right straight from the beginning :-D

              In addition I also found the root cause for above reported “EADDRINUSE” error.
              Simple again: I have enabled MagicMirror autostart in /home/pi/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh, but don’t see it since I use a Remote Desktop connection (RDP) that gives me a different X-Window in comparison to the native Raspberry desktop.
              Now launching Magic Mirror a second time on a different desktop and the same port causes the issue.
              Since I disabled MM autostart Magic Mirror boots up without these errors.
              Maybe I should get back from XRDP and switch to the preinstalled VNC to avoid having multiple desktops.

              Again, thanks a lot for your support :-)
