requirements in <xref linkend="dashboard-system-requirements"

<para>When you install only Object Storage and the Identity
Service, even if you install the dashboard, it does not
pull up projects and is unusable.</para>

the Identity Service as root:</para>

<para>Remove the
<literal>openstack-dashboard-ubuntu-theme</literal>
package. This theme prevents translations, several
menus as well as the network map from rendering
correctly:

<title>Note for Debian users</title>
<para>It is as well possible to install the apache
package:
<screen><prompt>#</prompt> <userinput>apt-get install openstack-dashboard-apache</userinput></screen>
This will install and configure Apache correctly,
provided that the user asks for it during the
debconf prompts. The default SSL certificate is
self-signed, and it is probably wise to have it
signed by a root CA (Certificate
Authority).</para>
