iCloud Calendar issue

[Sachin1968]

This was working fine but I keep getting the below error now...

Whoops! There was an uncaught exception... { [Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client/contacts.db'] errno: -13, code: 'EACCES', syscall: 'open', path: '/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client/contacts.db' } MagicMirror will not quit, but it might be a good idea to check why this happened. Maybe no internet connection? If you think this really is an issue, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues

Could you list the file permission of /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client/contacts.db? To do that open a terminal and enter

ls -l /home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-iCloud-Client/contacts.db

and post the output. And also how do you start your mirror and what user are you using? If unsure, post the output of ps auxwww while your mirror is running.

I suspect that the mirror was run at least once as root and you now try to start it as user pi.

@bitte-ein-bit I checked the permissions of contacts,db and it was owned by root/root with permissions set to rw r r. I manually set the ownership to pi/pi and changed the mode to rwx rwx rwx and it works for a few cycles, then it seems like a process updates contacts.db and changes permissions and ownership back to root/root rw r r.

The output of ps auxwww is lengthy, let me know if you want me to post it here? It seems most of the processes listed are owned by root.

thanks.

I start the Mirror as user pi from a terminal window: npm start

[bitte-ein-bit]

Hi,

that seems strange.

from ps auxwww all node specific lines would be of interest. Do you happen to start once as user pi and then as user root? Seems like the only explanation right now.

Maybe I have to move to some other storage dir... and use the user. PR welcome.

Hmm, that looks totally fine to me. I have to look into this, but as I'm due to leave for a trip, it'll take a while. Sorry.

[Sachin1968]

@bitte-ein-bit I figured it out. My autostart script had sudo npm start (leftover from a different smart mirror application). I removed the sudo, and all is well. Sorry for the wild goose chase. Thanks.

Hi,

Hi is it possible the whole icloud calendar to be shown on the magic mirror ? i think your module is user specific and secured with authentification so it would be better to view a calender with it than view a public calender like the normal calender module...

THanks.
