I am a node-red novice struggling with dashboard w on raspberry pi 5. No matter how I install, ui-page, ui-group and ui-base are missing, or at least are invisible. What am I missing?
Welcome to the forum @lugh
In what way are they missing?
See Getting Started | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0 for docs and links to video tutorials for Dashboard 2.0 (@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard)
Simply not visible on the left panel
These nodes are config nodes and are only created inside a regular node. Once created they will appear in the RH side bar named "config"
Just start by dropping a ui-something node onto the workspace and double click it to configure the elements

Thanks. My problem was one of understanding rather than execution.
FYI. Chatgpt got it completely wrong and insisted that they should be visible on the Dashboard 2 Palette.
For my education: are there legitimate nodes dd-page, dd-group and dd-base. Or should these in-fact be ui- nodes?
Not that I am aware off. Where are you seeing those?
no surprise - AI generated. however, a good ol' bit of trying direct (and your steer - thanks again) has got me a working dashboard 2. yes; i know. don't use AI, but i am lazy. 
There is no shame in using AI, often it does provide good answers.
And as we have just demonstrated, wrong and partly made-up answers. Fortunately, your steer has enabled me to construct a fully working dashboard (dashboard 2 of course) reading from an sqllite database. Needs tidying up in appearance, but it works. Thanks again. I can move on to my next solar PV plus storage automation.
