Icons Show as Boxes

Support
1

Greetings! I have an issue where some icons are not displayed correctly. Instead they show as boxes. Does anyone know the fix for this problem?

Hello. Which icons?
On the panel, the desktop, in Nemo, the applications menuā€¦?

I would guess itā€™s a theme problem. Try changing your theme and see if the issue persists.

I have the same problem after this morning updates.
All icons themes are the same, some icons themes disappeared, some gtk themes doesnā€™t work (Qogir panel bar is transparent). I think that something is broken.

Strange. Did you try to reboot already?

Is package papirus-icon-theme for example still installed?

10

Yes i reboot and yes papirus-icon-theme and my other theme are installed just not displayed in theme setting ā€¦?

11

Rebooted and reinstalled some icons themes.
Now themes works (after a reinstall) but icons not. Also in Gimp, for example, the icons disappeared.

Try running cinnamon-settings themes from the terminal. Do you see any errors or warning in the terminal output ?

Any errors in ~/.xsession-errors ?

13

Yes iā€™ve got a lot of error in .xsession-errors.
I havenā€™t got any problems before this updateā€¦

I saw that changing ā€œWindow bordersā€ have no effectā€¦???

14

This is the output

/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-settings/cinnamon-settings.py:430: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Window.set_wmclass is deprecated
  self.window.set_wmclass(wm_class, wm_class)

This is .xsession-errors

Nothing strange I think in this file.

Iā€™ve found a solution. As root:

pacman -Qqn | pacman -S -

Full reinstall of all packages, at the reboot of the system icons and interface worked as always.
