Steps to reproduce

  1. Install v10.4.2 on a raspberry pi 4B 4Gb ram, or update from the previous version of dietpi on a pi zero 2W to v10.4.2.

  2. Install FileBrowser from the software list.

Expected behaviour

  • FileBrowser is accessible by ipaddress:8084 without any issues.

Actual behaviour

  • All I get is the 3 blue pulsating dots, as if FileBrowser will soon load… but no, no dice, just pulsating dots for ages, no login screen, etc…

Extra details

  • I’ve ran into the same issue while updating a raspberry pi zero 2W to v10.4.2

As a workaround you can add /login to the URL, like
