2 of my three systems do not have pi as the user
Yes, I assumed user pi and the install under the user pi home directory.
Will try to remember that in the future.
Tilde for the home directory should work on all platforms, is my understanding.~/MagicMirrorMy keyboard is lacking a tilde and I always forget the right keystrokes.
So /home/pi is faster. :-) -
@evroom I sat right now and installed a new calendar module and suddenly the
mmm-weatherchartstarted working… :thinking_face:Did the
$ pm2 logs --lines 100and got a lot of errors, but I guess because everything’s working fine so don’t have to bother right now?! -
And of course it didn’t work now when I tried to switch back to default calendar module and then back to the other calendar module…

As long as the errors are no fatal errors that do not prevent the MagicMirror from starting or prevent a certain module from working right, you might chose to ignore them.
But the problem is, that when you add something new or update something existing, it becomes more and more difficult to debug and/or correct in case of problems.When you do this:
$ pm2 flush $ pm2 restart mm $ pm2 logs --lines 100what is the first error you see ?
Perhaps you post the first 50 to 100 lines of the log.But only if you want to spend some time on it, when not that’s fine too.

@evroom actually no errors like I got before…

Doesn’t look too bad.
Probably you saw the previous errors in your log output, that it is why flushing (pm2 flush) sometimes cannot hurt.In order to know a bit about your environment, can you post the output of the following commands ?
I am assuming you are using a Raspberry Pi$ cat /proc/device-tree/model $ lsb_release -a $ npm --version $ node --version $ pm2 --version $ cat /boot/config.txt | egrep -v '^$|^#|^\['I also would suggest to see if npm shows any errors:
$ cd ~/MagicMirror $ npm auditIn my case a
$ npm audit fixsolved the dependency issues it found.
Perhaps others have different ideas, but as a hobbyist, I would take these steps first myself.

The npm audit warnings do not create any problems in running the mirror as far as I know. They also do not show up in the pm2 logs.
I would even be very careful as an inexperienced user to do that. “Fixing” these npm warnings on the root MM install could break the whole mirror (not the mirror itself of course :-)). Especially if you mess with the electron/chromium dependencies. -

Forgot to escape the [, try this:

There needs to a backslash

The npm audit itself suggests to fix it using the fix option.
I personally never had any issues with this command, but perhaps I was lucky till now.
Sometimes it cannot resolve an issue, but it never broke anything.But, if it appears to be that dangerous, then indeed it is perhaps to refrain from it when not really necessary.
