Problem installing new module (beginner), CalendarEXT3 not displaying

MMRIZE

@Manino
Let’s test things.

Remove all other modules except calendar and MMM-CalendarExt3 then run again.
1-1) If no issue; Some of other modules might make interference.
1-2) Still happens; Run MM as dev mode (npm run start:dev) => This will show front-end dev console and there might be some useful console log. (or you can populate dev-console on MM with Ctrl+Shift+i or equivalent shortcut keys by your system)
Just in case, the first rendering takes time so wait a while after running it.

@MMRIZE Can you see something? I takes time for my posts to be accepted but now I have an all band new installation of the MM and the EXT3.

I did comment out(?) all the default models except the calendar. Correct? Still got the same view as above (my latest post), except the clock and date.

@Manino
You need to stop “pm2” first before try dev mode. This error means just you are executing mm twice(one from pm2 and one from npm run start:dev). That error is not related with your original issue.

sdetweil

@MMRIZE @Manino do

pm2 stop all

then u can do

npm start 
(ctrl-c to stop)

to test

Manino

@MMRIZE @sdetweil Oh, tnx! This is what I got. Have no idea if this is correct either. Thanks for your patience.

@Manino

‘/home/manino/package.json’

you are not in the MagicMirror folder

cd MagicMirror

sdetweil

@Manino do this

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1
npm start

if that works, the add

export ELECTRON_DISABLE_GPU=1

in the ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

on a new line before the line with npm start

Manino

@sdetweil @MMRIZE Sry did post before writing all text…

I did try your thing @sdetweil but I could’nt get it right. Then I did the Install of the MM for 15 times or something, try different installation every time, change language and tested everything, and then one time I try this extra thing below. I am sure iv’e tried it before but that time it did’nt work. I don’t know why but now I have it.

Every time I do the installation of the MM (after imager), I do got an error in the text. But the MM start running anyway. Maybe that’s the problem?

Anyway this thing did work:
“When some submodule seems not installed and updated properly, try this.”
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-CalendarExt3
git submodule update --init --recursive

sdetweil

@Manino the question is, WHY did it not get installed properly…

the install instructions

npm install

in the module folder SHOULD have done the work already…

Manino

@sdetweil This is exactly what I did.

In the terminal I wrote cd MagicMirror/modules
then wrote git clone https://github.com/MMRIZE/MMM-CalendarExt3
after that, I wrote npm install

Sometimes, I did get an error says I had to do npm audit fix. I did got it the last time and now as I said it’s working. But I don’t see that as a problem. Some of the times I did not got that, and it did not work anyway.

Then I did wrote git submodule update --init --recursive
even do the guide says needless (I did test with and without), don’t know if there was any difference.

But this should work or?
