@Alfnie
who is adm? should be the current username (pi?)always best to use the shortcut
~/.config
~ means the home folder of the current user , same as
/home/$USERor /home/pi is pi is logged in

@sdetweil
Thanks, it works now.
Also, I have learned about the dot (.) implying Hidden folders, thanks.
Tomorrow I’m gonna try to add multiple calendars. -
Hi @Beh,
thank you very much for this detailed description. This was exactly what I was looking for for my MM, and with your step-by-step instructions it worked for me straight away.
Happy New Year and thank you very much again!!! :thumbs_up:May the code be with you

Thanks for the detailed description, I’ve done this and it works most of the time, however one of my calendars is not updating.
I know very little about Pi’s and am new to Linux it general, are there any suggestions on how to find issues? -
The problem with not updating looks like it’s related to one of my calendars not having any entries in the requested timescale. If all calendars have entries then they sync however if one (in my case the last one) has no entries then there are no updates. Very strange.

@Gailby @ganther @Beh the ics files doesn’t seem to sync in Calendars… all files are empty. Have anyone resolved this?
@ganther said in Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror:
Hi there,
i followed the instructions, my calendars are shown in discovery.
I copied the UUID and it starts syncing, but the saved files are 0kb.
I tried several calendars and checked the UUID’s but can’t find any mistake?any ideas?
thanks!!@ganther said in Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror:
@maestro82
Did you check your calendar-url in conf/config.js?My calendar is running now correctly. Don‘t know why but now my ics-file isn‘t empty anymore.

Went through all the steps in the tutorial (including the modification to set the .service file to point to where vdirsyncer really lives [Thanks @Beh !]). Everything works, except that my .ics files are empty (0 length). I saw a reference to this early in the forum comments, but the poster said they eventually started working with no reason for the change. Anyone have any ideas?
I’m getting this same thing. The .ics files are created, but they’re empty. Everything up to there is working. The iCloud credentials must be correct as it’s talking to me and I can see the names and uuids of the remote calendars when I use “vdirsync discover”. I just don’t get any events into the local files with “vdirsync sync”.
I’m aware this is more a vdirsync issue than MagicMirror, but did any of you folks having this problem ever figure it out?

Hello! I can get to the point where I update my collections, but when I run the discover feature again and enter y + enter I get this error message
error: Unknown error occurred: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘/home/pi’
error: Use-vdebug
to see the full traceback.Is there a fix for this?

@aceahspades is the userid you are logged on as
pi??
if not you should change that string the /user/xxxxx
where xxxxx is your logged on username

@sdetweil Up and running, thank you so very much!
