@redink can you use the Raspi os config to turn off ipv6 addressing for this adapter?

inet6 fe80::3e7d:5421:775:6ad0/64 scope link

one of the workarounds deals with incorrectly picking the network address to connect with given the client network…

@sdetweil while messing with raspi-config over ssh, magicmirror lost connection to my wifi. I had to connect a keyboard and reconnect. But, before going back to your last suggestion I did two other things. I updated pm2 (as suggested by some other post). And in the browser console I noticed that I had an error about not being able to locate “CX3_shared.mjs”. I checked the MMM-CalendarExt3 repo, and found that file CX3_Shared/CX3_shared.mjs, which for some reason wasn’t getting pulled by a git pull. I manually copied it in, and the calendar sort of started working.

I should have paid better attention to the documentation, because I would have seen that I needed to run git submodule update --init --recursive to update the submodule.

The reason I say “sort of” is because my family calendar doesn’t show some repeating events, but I need to dig deeper into that.

I really appreciate all your help.

@redink the submodule problem is because you didn’t run npm install on the Ext3 module.

ext3 gets its events from the default calendar.

@sdetweil yeah, i probably just did a git pull
