Desktop icons not loading
Desktop icons not loading
I've had this issue for a while now, since I thought I could fix it myself. Almost all my programs have lost their icon image, which is not fixable by applying a different icon theme unfortunately. Just installed the Reversal icon pack to test that. My settings are attached here, sorry for the german:
I am assuming this is due to some of the weird behaviour I have had for some days months ago. Gnome would just not load and instead show me an error screen. So I had to uninstall gnome entirely, then reinstall it and that magically fixed it, but my icons were gone.
You're viewing a single thread.
Try running
update-icon-cachesas root and restarting GNOME.Maybe this package isn't installed either, since I get some sort of error message: Usage: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches directory [ ... ] I tried assigning some directory to it like this: sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons But this didn't change anything either.
some sort of error message
Having this complete error message would help determine what is going on.
This is all what shows up. Heres my complete terminal output:
marty@MartyPC:~$ sudo update-icon-caches [sudo] Passwort für marty: Usage: /usr/sbin/update-icon-caches directory [ ... ] marty@MartyPC:~$Try:
sudo update-icon-caches /usr/share/icons/*
Look at the comment I made above. I already tried that. EDIT: I almost didn't see the star, sorry
