      @nowayto said in default calendar fetching issues:

      Do I have to search something in particular?

      I do not know

      can you recreate this if un restart MagicMirror? does it always fail in the morning?

      pm2 is really for production use,

      if you can repeat it

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

      wait til failure
      ctrl-q on MagicMirror screen
      then examine the somefile.txt

        Honestly… I don’t see nothing strange.
        But when this error appear, if I left MM on for a day, it wont load calendar entries.

        I have to restart it one or more time till it show entries

          @nowayto ok, disable the updatenotification module in config.js

          add

          disabled:true,
          after the
          module:line

            I did it.
            I usually put the “disabled: true” before the module name line, instead of after
            Is it different?

                behaviour seems the same. I suspect this, could this issues be related to the raspberry pi 3 computing capacity? could it be not enough?

                Is there a way to delay the pm2 automatic startup.
                For example I though to try a delay of 1-2 minutes so:
                1- raspbian startup
                2- delay of 1-2 minutes to make sure all the services are up and the cpu is idle
                3- mm startup
                4- if it’s possible, I will add a delay to the modules startup also, maybe 20 seconds between every module loading

                Honestly I checked his capacity a lot of times using the htop, free and cpu temperature command.
                With my amazement I see everytime an amount of free memory, low cpu load and good cpu temp (like 40 to 50 degrees)

                But if there is a way to delay everything, I’ll just check if with a “calmly” startup It will go better

                  @nowayto i do not know on pm2

                  you could put a sleep 120
                  in the mm.sh to wait a while

                  how is swap space?

                  free -m

                  pi02w only has 512mb

                    Yes I agree, the memory is very limiting.
                    Although mine is a Pi3 model A, but the memory is 512mb like the pi02w.
                    When I started the project I had something different in my mind and now I’m pushing it to the limit.

                    But as I said I checked everytime the CPU temperature, memory and generally resources usage from “htop” command.

                    This morning MM started with calendar error, I did a “pm2 restart mm” and goes OK.

                    Now I put “sleep 120” inside mm.sh as first line
                    I restarted it now

                    Memory BEFORE restart was this
                    total used free shared buff/cache available
                    Mem: 427 156 90 70 179 147
                    Swap: 1023 231 792

                    Not so good but not so bad, same time.

                    I’ll check if this delay could help.
                    Is there a way to put a little delay between the loading of every module ? Maybe 5/10 seconds, I though it could be very helpful on a limited machine like mine :)

                        I had considerable problems with running on a model A - but I found dietPI (https://dietpi.com/) to be a solid distro that works well even when using the default electron GUI front-end. (Previously OOM’d consistently)

                        Note, also I frequently have trouble with the calendar events appears as there seems to be some problem in the websocket communication layer (this bug: https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror/issues/3380)

                        I basically use MMM-RemoteControl to force a refresh in a daily cron job (curl http://localhost:8080/api/refresh) and this works. Why? No One knows
