Missing Application Icon (Spotify - Snap) after recent Upgrade - Pahvo

[FredOWalles]

After the recent OS Upgrade (Pahvo) my Spotify (Snap) Application Icons have gone missing (Workspace Switcher,Window Cycling,Title bar, Window Menu).

What’s surprising is that the Window Button’s icon is still in place. (although I think it’s also a bit different now)

Having the same issue with Microsoft Teams - but already way before the upgrade.

Thank you so much for any help on this!

Welcome to Manjaro!

I have read this already and left you just a as I don’t use and don’t like snaps (and I’m on KDE)

However, as you haven’t received any responses so far:

Have you tried using a native application instead of a snap already? (E.G From the AUR)

[FredOWalles]

Hey Fabby,
glad to be on board!
So far I tried flatpak and AUR as alternative. both display the same issue.

Then the only thing to do is to read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

Whereas in 6 months time, you’ll be like:

Why can't I make Windows jump through fiery hoops like I do with Linux???

Especially the What’s this Upstream / Downstream business section and file a bug upstream…

Please note that a quality bug needs the same kind of information we require here:

I assume it’s an upstream issue (yeah, I learned a new term! Merci )

Same/Similar issue seems to exist on Fedora and KDE. Also this happened after they updated the application. Snap, flatpak and AUR got updated nearly simultaneously and are all based on the same .deb image i guess?

I reported it on the spotify community.

Few broken things since latest update

when running spotify via terminal that’s the output (using AUR):

/opt/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /opt/spotify/spotify)
/opt/spotify/spotify: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /opt/spotify/spotify)
/proc/self/exe: /usr/lib/libcurl-gnutls.so.4: no version information available (required by /proc/self/exe)

Even though I guess it cant be fixed here, still here’s my inxi output:
