I've downloaded and installed the latest ASL3 (allstar3-arm64-3.0.18.img.xz0 and have burned it to three different SD cards. I have a keyboard/mouse/monitor connected to my Raspberry Pi 4.
The OS installs and reboots several times and lands at the graphical user interface. it's a generic UI with almost nothing on the screen.
I have no problem connecting over SSH.
I am unable to get to the ASL web interface. It's almost like none of the software was installed, or the web server didn't start.
I can ping between my computer and my RPi with about 0.3ms delay.
I've tried connecting from my PC, my MacBook and my iPad - no connection. Error messages indicate site not found.
I rebooted my router to clear the DNS and ARP cache. I also flushed the DNS cache on my PC - all to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I hate to get stopped at the starting gate.
Thanks,

Since you've got a monitor connected, watch for errors during the boot process. Also, look at things like `systemctl` from the CLI, look for failed services

Thanks for the reply. I think I finally have it sorted.
I turns out that the file selection box in the RPi burner doesn't show the whole file name, and I grabbed an incorrect version (three times) of a RPI installation.
I returned and discovered two download directories - one local and one on One Drive - both of which had different images.
I'm configuring the RF portion of my node, and hope to have it running in the next day or two.

This is resolved, but for anyone stumbling over this thread later... the ASL image **does not** boot into a GUI. There isn't even one installed.
