    @MMRIZE
    Hi, Thanks for your response.
    The actual MM works well and the CalendarExt3 display’s ok. I will leave the calendar for a longer time to allow further syncs to take place.
    Any thoughts on the errors that are being reported in the log?
    Thanks

      this is an electron reported ‘error’, but is really a warning. you can ignore it. we can’t hide it

        even though the module loads, I see this error all the time; even after a refresh.
        Should I ignore it?

          @greedyvegan That is not an error, just warning you can ignore it.

            @MMRIZE I’ve left the MMM Calendar running for a far longer period and sync has never occured.
            I did some digging/reading on Vdirsyncer and located the journal, here’s what it has been recording over and over.

            It states it can’t find the vdirsyncer file which isn’t really a file but a symlink as per Beh instructions.

            Here are my vdirsyncer service and timer files in case I’m missing something?

            [Unit]
            Description=Synchronize calendars and contacts
            Documentation=https://vdirsyncer.readthedocs.org/
            StartLimitBurst=2
            
            [Service]
            ExecStart=/usr/bin/vdirsyncer sync
            RuntimeMaxSec=3m
            Restart=on-failure
            
            [Unit]
            Description=Synchronize vdirs
            
            [Timer]
            OnBootSec=2m
            OnUnitActiveSec=10m
            AccuracySec=5m
            
            [Install]
            WantedBy=timers.target
            

            I did the Clean but Hard Way install of vdirsyncer and it created a vdirsyncer_env folder which according to instructions keeps Python contained. Could this be the issue?
            Thanks in advance.

              @lightfixer2000 many python scripts require a virtual environment. using the venv command to load from from the folder the installer creates before executing any python script

                @lightfixer2000 I try not to use services anymore as pm2 can launch anything, like my installer sets up for MagicMirror.

                  @sdetweil Thanks. I have pm2 installed and it runs MMM at boot up. According to the timer file the first fetch is after 2 mins of program start. I still don’t see any update to the ics file.
                  I will read pm2 help is a config or something else with pm2 I should be using?

                    @lightfixer2000 pm2 start xxx

                    xxx can be a bash script
                    or an executable

                    if you the bash script the you can ha e multile commands and logic

                    pm2’s job is to start and run things and keep them running

                      I’m not using vdirsyncer to get iCloud or Google private/family calendars as iCal. So I have no idea.
                      Instead I use MMM-CalDAV. Sorry.
