Default calendar is just loading! (Newbie)

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 the calendar ics parser runs in the node_helper… its messages are output in the npm start window… or if using pm2 to autostart ,
pm2 logs --lines=100

you can also add “DEBUG” to the

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging

in config.js

because there is so much output, I would do

pm2 stop all 
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt 2>&1

then after MM starts and no calendar appears… wait 15 secconds
ctrl-m on the MM window to minimize and press ctrl-c to stop mm.

the the contents of somefile.txt will give me the info to debug

send to this same userid at gmail
don’t post here or in mm issue as there is private data shown in the logs

@sdetweil I just did that?

Is that correct? yes.

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 but you did not set the debug in config.js first

[Max 0]

@sdetweil If you mean to add “DEBUG” in the config list, i did that but i can do it again and send you another mail

[sdetweil]

yes. there should be about 1000 lines of output in the file

[Max 0]

@sdetweil I’ve definitely set Debug to the log level list, but I’m still getting those same some file.txt lines

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 show me the loglevel from config.js, should look line this

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],

@sdetweil If you mean this should be in the somefile.txt, I double checked your instructions and did it a few times but I´m getting over and over the same text in the file! But I do not fully understand what you mean by 1 event in the calendar. Also when I check the dev console in the mirror, there are some errors which say "Refused to apply style "/“Error on loading stylesheet: css/custom.css” (Idk if that is important)

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 I am just showing 1 event from the debug log

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 do

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start >somefile.txt

[Max 0]

@sdetweil without the 2>&1 behind the npm command, I´m getting less information than before! (is it important for the words int he command to be bold?)

[sdetweil]

@Max-0 no bold in any of my command strings… command prompt doesn’t do bold anyhow…

got no idea where u are having trouble. this is the simplest command set ever

I tried to delete and reinstall the whole programm. But now it won´t even start anymore and the last message in the terminal is “MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information”
