The platform failed to initialize.Missing X server or $DISPLAY

does electron window come up?

No. I get ./node_modules/.bin.electron: No such file or directory

@sdetweil That didn’t seem to work. It did eliminate any errors on startup, but the screen remainis blank.
the command to start in mm.sh is

DISPLAY=:0 npm start

I have recently updated and rebuilt my MM installation.
I can browse to my MM via a remote web browser and things display fine, however on the HDMI output of the PI itself I just have a black screen.

In the logs I see,

[1502:0115/164948.881957:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(186)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization
[1538:0115/164949.052412:ERROR:gpu_memory_buffer_support_x11.cc(44)] dri3 extension not supported.
[1507:0115/164949.107262:ERROR:command_buffer_proxy_impl.cc(128)] ContextResult::kTransientFailure: Failed to send GpuControl.CreateCommandBuffer.

I wonder if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction.

@sdetweil
I did a full restart, clearing the logs first, and this is the output.

The behaviour that I’m seeing is that all other modules load ok, but the space previously occupied with the Calendar-EXT2 is just blank

I have an issue with CalendarEXT2.
It has been displaying fine for a good long while but at some time around early Jan it stops displaying at all, leaving just a gap on the screen where it was previously displaying.
As part of troubleshooting I upgraded to the latest version of Magic Mirror and then re-installed something called “request” which was referred to in the logs. This allowed magic mirror to start again, but the same “missing” calendar occurs.

Any clues on where I can look to work out more?

@chris_d And just to report that todays “shuffle” has resolved the issue.
No idea what was going on there, possibly some caching. but I now have things working great. Thanks all.

@ellings3n said in MMM-CalendarExt2 showing daily in columns:

then you:

Thanks.
In an interesting development today the “today” section now has content but the “Saturday” content is blank, so it’s something to do with the number of columns. Will plug away at it and see if I can sort it.
If I add a slotCount: “6”, I get the 6th column, but the 5th is still blank.
Most strange…

@ellings3n said in MMM-CalendarExt2 showing daily in columns:

type: “row”,

Greetings indeed :-)
That has worked great thank you.
I had some formatting issues, but I was trying to constrain it into the wrong region, now fixed.!

I’ve run into another issue, in that it’s stopped displaying events “today”
In the example screenshot here, there should be three events. The calendars are displaying events on other days.

Any ideas why “today” is not displaying?

I’ve had a good look round and a play with the different views.
I’m really wanting a daily view where each day is a column of information, very much like the example for MMM-CalendarExt.
When I use the daily view for MMM-CalendarExt2 it stacks the days on top of each other, see image.

How can I get them to be next to each other?
