      When I start my MM I get a message that says " Error in Calendar Module - Check logs for details"
      So my question is… Where are those pesky logs? I tried Whereis *.log but got nothing in return…
      Help? and thanks

        @n6ng where u start mm the messages are output. if u save them, they are the log. if not they are lost

        if you use pm2 to launch mm

        then the command

        pm2 logs --lines=???
        

        where ??? is some number, default 15
        will show you ??? lines of the error messages and ??? lines of the non error messages

        1st debug step for calendar , take the url u put in config for the ics file , and use it in a browser on the mm system.

        it should download the calendar ics file.
        which is just text.

            @n6ng alternatively, if you can open two ssh sessions, you can use one of them with just pm2 logs - and watch it live as you restart MagicMirror in the other one.

              @bkeyport That’s my next project, to get the SSH working so I can program the mm from my PC…
              Thanks…
              There was an error in the calendar address and once I fixed that it works great… now on to the SSH programing…
              Thanks again Sam

                @n6ng use one of the integrated ssh clients. bitvise or winscp

                you get an ssh window AND a file browser over the pi file system. just double click to edit w your favorite editor.

                notepad++, vscode, whatever…

                  @n6ng sudo raspi-config will give ya the options to enable SSH - on the PC, use termius or putty.

                  As for further PC control, you could look into samba - follow the instructions here for samba, they’re brilliant, even though it claims it’s for MacOS, it works for Windows too.
