[stone212]

Before filing a new issue, please provide the following information.

I'm running:

• Parity client version: 1.10
• Which Parity UI Version?: Parity UI (also confusingly called Parity-JS): Parity UI v0.1.4-stable
• Which operating system?: Debian
• How installed?: via .deb
• Are you fully synchronized?: yes
• Which network are you connected to?: ethereum
• Did you try to restart the node?: yes
  Your issue description goes here below. Try to include actual vs. expected behavior and steps to reproduce the issue.

I installed Parity UI from binary.

Now what? There are no instructions. Well there are but the instruction is literally "Launch Parity UI" and that is not telling me how.

The desired result is that I go to localhost:8180 and see the familiar Parity UI interface.

Localhost:8180 is not accessible anymore since v1.10.
You should be able to launch parity-ui the way you would launch any other application. Either with you app launcher or in the command line: parity-ui

Either with you app launcher

This is not some GUI system I am using. I run a headless Parity server and I need access to the UI remotely (using an SSH tunnel). Parity is not a desktop application now is it? It is a server process and runs on headless servers.

in the command line: parity-ui

I recommend you add this to the wiki. A user should not have to go through an Issue to learn this after installing. I found it by a search of the filesystem but that also should not be required.
