@sdetweil
I am sorry if this has been a wild goose chase and a waste of your time. I flashed the SD card, ran the script several times and it didn’t work, I will try one more time tomorrow and leave it at that.
Random results from repeating the same process are very frustrating.
I had one more attempt at this, this time I ran an update and upgrade before running your script and this time it worked. Cannot see why that would be…
Happy to experiment more if you need more info but I am going to start on building the 2 way mirror now!
@sdetweil OK, I will keep the various SD cards with working and non working version for a while just in case it would be of help.
So, it works installing manually, bash history…:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
sudo reboot now
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y
sudo apt install npm
git clone https://github.com/MagicMirrorOrg/MagicMirror
cd MagicMirror
npm run install-mm
cp config/config.js.sample config/config.js
npm start
The install log from the one that doesn’t run is here if that helps at all.
Sorry, same result with both of those, doesn’t get past the starting server message.
System info:
sudo cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model;echo
cat /etc/os-release

I do have an SD with a working MagicMirror on it, installed exactly the same was a couple of weeks ago.
I have just going to try another fresh install of bookworm, update / upgrade and then manually install nodejs and npm and MagicMirror ans see what happens. Don’t expect a different result but will see what happens.

Just to pick back up on this, I checked my bash history and I did npm run install-mm after the clipping fix.
I have tried a few times now to do this with the same result, this time without the clipping fix.
Reflashed the image and then the following steps are my bash history from first run of the OS. Only change to the config file is changing the port and the full whitelist. I selected No to the pm2 question, the screensaver was not disabled, just a waring about not knowing how to disable on an labwc compositor.
bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/raspberry.sh)"
cd ~/MagicMirror/config
nano config.js
npm run start
With the following results, MagicMirror doesn’t start. and doesn’t get any futher that the whitelist warning. Same result without the full whitlist though…

Would be useful is someone can replicate this and see if it is something peculiar to my enviroment.
Raspberry Pi5 with 64 Bit Debian Bookworm with desktop.
I am just about to try with the 32 bit image but the whole process takes a while.
Update: couldn’t get it to install on the 32 bit version. New install of 32 bit bookworm, ran the install script and it fails with:
installing correct version of node and npm, please wait
/usr/local/bin/n: line 753: /usr/local/bin/node: cannot execute: required file not found
bash: line 309: /usr/local/bin/node: cannot execute: required file not found
node failed to install, exiting
@sdetweil said in MMM-CalendarExt3 and MMM-MonthlyCalendar blank:
@Scott-M ok, starting server is correct…
did you npm install or npm run install-mm
after installing the clipping fix?? (its required)
I see, my mistake. I assumed from the forum post that this was if you use the development branch, as the instructions said
cd ~/MagicMirror
git fetch origin pull/3679/head:_fix_clipping
git switch _fix_clipping
# if you get an error error, rm package-lock.json
# and repeat the git switch
restart MM
with npm run install-mm further down the post. I must have done this on the older one I am using though as it works.
Away all weekend so won’t be able to check until Monday.
Thanks again!
Back to the SD card that hangs on the starting server message…
I used Raspberry Pi OS (64 Bit) Bookworm, onto a Pi5, labwc compositor. I did install the clipping fix after the MagicMirror install
I ran with
npm run start
with this result, it may just be waiting but CRTL C does nothing and I have to close the ssh connection and reconnect.

I wasted most of today writing new Pi images to new SD cards, using the script to install MagicMirror again, only to have it crash / hang on the [LOG] Starting server on port 8089 … message every time.
I gave up and went back to my working SD card and it seems to work now. I had been using this from some sample code I found online, just to test and get the MMM-CalendarExt3 module working
{
url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
name: "holiday",
fetchInterval: 60000,
},
I decided to add a couple of other calendars in and all of the others I tried show up in the Ext3 view, except this one. Not sure what the problem with it is but I won’t be using it so will move on.
I now have 4 random calendars and the code above in the calendar module and they all work, except the US_Holidays, the events for that one show in the list view but not in Ext3.
Thank you for taking the time to reply and help, sorry it seems to have been a bit of a waste of time.
Thanks for posting that but even with that config it is still blank. I have to leave it for now but will start on it fresh tomorrow and rebuild it and see what happens. Hopefully it is just something simple I missed.
I did run nmp install in the MMM-CalendarExt3 folder!
This is the result of the Ext3 filter in the console

Even setting the waitFetch to 60 secods doesn’t help, the regualr calendar populates straight way, well before the Ext3 shows.

@sdetweil I don’t run under pm2 but will look at that just now
I have rad this post here which describes exactly the issue I am having. Both the CalendarExt3 and MonthlyCalendar modules are not populating with events even though they are being broadcast.
I have V2.31.0 after putting on the clipping fix. config is below.
{
module: "calendar",
position: "top_left",
header: "TestCalendar",
config: {
broadcastPastEvents: true, // <= IMPORTANT to see past events
instanceId: "WeeklyCalendar",
calendars: [
{
url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
name: "hols",
color: "red",
symbol: true
},
],
}
},
{
module: "MMM-MonthlyCalendar",
position: "bottom_bar",
config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.

}
}

eventTimeOptions: {

},
useSymbol: true,
calendarSet: ['hols'],
}
},
*/
There is a warning in the console using the CalendarExt3 but not the Monthly Calendar, not sure if it is relevant to this.
I am fairly new to this so quite likely I have missed something obvious. I have MM running on a Pi Zero 2W and a Pi 5, both installed using the install script and then clipping fix and same isssue on both.
