Ok, after that back to 6.11 and the system seems mostly normal.
But, why does the pamac ui look like this? No icons. (I know… not a kernel thing, but.)
mod. edit: moved to new topic as it’s another issue
Thanks, for splitting.
You could try to uninstall (incl. all settings) and reinstall Pamac.
Or - if you only have Manjaro and AUR packages - you could remove it, install yay package and update Manjaro repo’s via
sudo pacman -Syu
Reboot and update AUR packages via
yay -Sua --devel
Where are the settings for pamac?
depending on the theme:
the hamburger menu top right or the three dots
can you start it via terminal
pamac-manager
and see if the output tells you something about themes or icons or … anything?
You might have installed and set a theme which has become obsolete or incompatible.
Starting from the terminal get a lot of missing svg files:
Failed to load icon /usr/share/icons/breeze/actions/16/window-minimize-symbolic.svg: Unable to load image-loading module: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
No, you are not missing icons / svg files - what is missing or not working is some piece of software
responsible for loading these icons.
pacman -F libpixbufloader-svg.so
extra/librsvg 2:2.58.4-1 [installed: 2:2.59.2-1]
usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so
The offending / missing file is in this package:
librsvg
Are you sure your system is fully up to date?
sudo pacman -Syu
sudo pacman -S --asdeps librsvg
would be what I’d do.
I don’t know what’s going on. Earlier today the I ran a typical update of all the 400+ updates that pacman showed as available.
And at this point pacman shows no updates available.
and after:
?
same result with the icons?
Hmm…looks like the icons are back. They do look a bit different, but, yes, they are back.
Edit: when I try to do updates of AUR packages I see:
cp: cannot access '/var/lib/pacman/sync/download-TFb1ot': Permission denied
something ain’t right after your update
To be sure I’d:
sudo pacman-mirrors -c Germany (use another country if you like)
and then
sudo pacman -Syu
again.
What was the commands output when you just reinstalled librsvg?
It should already have been the correct version and just been re-installed.
The other possibility would be something more serious with your disk or file system.
… the file was missing when it should have been there …
The output when pacman -S --asdeps librsvg

looks all good and exactly the same for me when I do the same
Seems strange that a reinstallation fixed the issue.
I’d do a file system check.
What does this imply?
cp: cannot access '/var/lib/pacman/sync/download-TFb1ot': Permission denied
this:
What did you do to get this?
What did you want to do?
this is a directory and it is owned and only readable and writable by root.
no harm in removing it:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/sync/download-TFb1ot
