I just updated the system, but things didn’t go well like every time. It broke again, lightdm wasn’t starting, so I spent 2 hours fixing it up, then after I got into the system all the icons are messed, they are like default icons, so I went in appearance and tried to change to my icon theme, but all of the icon themes were looking same (with little difference) as default one, I downloaded few more icon themes to try but none of them are working, it’s showing it’s enabled but nothing is happening the ugly default icons remain the same and most of the icons are missing. I’ve again looking for more than 2 hours but can’t find anything. My guess is, still some issue with lightdm, it’s not able to render the icons or something. But I’m complete noob in Linux stuff all I know is how to google stuff when something goes wrong. But not able to find anything this time.
And I also did this, after looking at some forum
sudo gtk-update-icon-cache ~/.icons/WhiteSur
but this broke the icon settings, now I can’t open ‘settings < appearance’ or choose any icon, it just lags and crashes.
Please guide me on how to fix this, thanks for your time, and I don’t really know what kind of system info I should attach with the questions, so sorry for that
