All my desktop and menu icons are missing. The system font changed for some areas, but not for others (when I right-click my desktop the font in the menu is changed, in folders it is not). My icon theme was also reset.
clearing cache (and specifically removing icon-cache.kcache and selecting new icon theme afterwards like mentioned here)
changing global theme
changing icon package
changing desktop background and layout (folder view is normal, changed it to desktop only makes the icons with text completely disappear. I can not select a location for the folder view, see 2nd screenshot)
create a new test user from system settings, log out, log in with it and see if it has also the same issues… if not, its something in your main user, and can be very likely be renaming some folders…
Oh yeah I just need to run it with sudo, of course.
My output from sudo pacman -Syu is

first error doesnt matter i think, was old gaming stuff i tried. 2nd error roughly translated
Error: Database could not be synchronized (some data could not be transfered)
The drivers are probably because i switched to an nvidia gpu recently from amd. I will try to install nvidia drivers. How do I replace the kernel parameters?
So remove the changes that you made to pacman, then rerun the update again…
Dont install the nvidia drivers untill the pacman is fixed, and untill we add another parameter related to nvidia, because its possible that without the parameter you may not be able to boot…
So first fix pacman…then we will continue

# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and

Than you. At least no errors now. Just 2 warnings, that local version is newer than community version.
Reboot did not bring the icons back.

Es gibt nichts zu tun
Open add/remove software app search there for deeoin, click on installed, and remove the 8 deepin packages… If there are errors post them here, if there are none, reboot…
I had to remove dtkgui in the process and that did it. All Icons are back!! Thank you so much!
How do I avoid this in the future? I am asking because I did not know when I installed deepin
Sorry I really have no clue about linux.
