Lost some icons after upgrade

I have recently upgraded my system and have lost some (not all icons)

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.14.0
Qt Version: 6.9.0
Kernel Version: 6.6.90-1-MANJARO (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

For example pinta

What should I do to recover them?

Take a look at what changed or was removed while upgrading:

grep "2025-05-31" /var/log/pacman.log

There is a package pacman-logviewer providing a GUI for inspecting pacman history.

I have that, but what am l looking for - lot’s has changed?

Obviously, you would look for package names that contain the word “icon”.

I read this earlier this morning, wonder if it’s related:

Worked around a GTK bug a bug that caused some Breeze icons to appear as white rectangles in GTK 3 apps. (Mors Mortium, link)

Thanks but nothing jumps out.

The missing icons are not rectangles, but in Breeze theme are folder images

But on oxygen, they have a do not enter sign

folder1

Do these missing icons represent picture files?
I guess, because pinta is a:

Drawing/editing program modeled after Paint.NET. It’s goal is to provide a simplified alternative to GIMP for casual users

It is also only available from AUR - did you rebuild it after the update?
pacman can’t do that.
How did you update?

The icons are button on the application

sudo pacman -Syu

The screenshot in the first post doesn’t look like that - the icons are there, just what appears to be picture files on the left side don’t have a proper icon. :man_shrugging:
… although I do not know what the pinta window is supposed to look like, which icons might be missing …

I guess that was intended as an answer to:

pinta is only available from the AUR
which means:
you did not update/rebuild it,
because pacman cannot do that.

Yes it’s rebuilt

pamac build pinta

@psionman Maybe just use the flatpak or snap version that is maintained directly by the developer. Since this is tested by the developers, not maintained and tested by some random guy on the AUR.

PS: I pretty sure, the used icons are: Arch Linux - hicolor-icon-theme 0.18-1 (any)

I just did the same - but it was a new install to test it, not a repeat.

Now I see what it is supposed to look like - the missing icons on the left side - these are not pictures, but icons for certain functions of the program.

It works perfectly for me is about all I can say. :man_shrugging:

Sometimes cleaning the cache appears to help in situations like this - I think it is worth a shot.

rm -rf ~/.cache

Or try switching to another theme and icon set?

I set mine to Breath Dark, but Breath light works just as well.

I’ve fixed it now - reinstalled using snap

Now for gimp and Add/Remove software

Works for gimp too!
