Hi Guys,

I had a very specific use case where I wanted to use Debian (LXDE) with an old laptop to run Magic Mirror.

I am by no means a linux expert! But I did some tinkering and couldnt get the install script working. The following steps might help you getting MM running on a Debian 10 machine. I used the debian-live-10.0.0-amd64-lxde.iso to install Debian.

Once installed, log in to the system with the user you created during setup.

Open a terminal window, and run the following:

su

Enter the root password when prompted and then run the following:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install openssh-server

Once complete I found it easier to go back to my main machine and use putty.

Open a Putty connection to your machine, login with the user you created during setup

Once at the terminal, type the following:

su

Enter the root password when prompted and then run the following:

apt-get --assume-yes install curl wget git build-essential unzip gcc g++ make
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_10.x | sudo -E bash -
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nodejs
apt-get install -y npm
curl -sL https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
apt-get update
apt-get install yarn
exit

This should return you to the mm user you have setup, at the command line type the following:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git
cd MagicMirror/
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
npm install
npm audit fix

Close out the session and then go back to the machine and run a terminal prompt and type the following to start mm!

cd MagicMirror
npm start

YMMV but hope this helps others out there trying to get this to work too.

@mlcampbe said in Calendar timezone problems:

Didnt work for me unfortunately, followed your instructions to a T. Same thing. I have an entry that tomorrow that is still showing incorrectly.

Little outta my depth, going to check the other cal modules to see if they parse the cal differently.

The only other thing I can think of is my firm is US and I am based in the UK. Office 365 has my region set correctly to UK.

@Sean

Bit of a necro, but I am having the same issue.

My Calendar invites where the originator is based outside of my timezone are displayed as the originators time.

I can email you my ics for you to see, nothing uber confidential.

Regards,
