Fedora 38: No Icons Loading And Can't Open A Terminal
  • UPDATE: I was able to get to a terminal with ctrl + alt + f2. After trying to reinstall icon packages and getting no where I finally was able to find a solution. The VirtualBox uninstall script seems to break the MIME database. I was able to fix the issue by running this command:

    sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

    Then logging out and back in.

    Solution was found on this StackExchange post:

  • Fedora 38: No Icons Loading And Can't Open A Terminal

    Hi guys, I was recently using a test build of VirtualBox on my Fedora 38 machine. I wanted to uninstall this test build so I ran a command which, from what I understand, was supposed to uninstall the test build of VirtualBox I had installed:

    sudo VirtualBox-7.0.9-158223-Linux_amd64.run uninstall

    After running this my terminal crashed and I started getting some weird behavior. I gave my machine a reboot to see if that would sort it out. But that didn't fix anything. No icons are loading and I can't start a terminal or open some applications like Firefox.

    It seems like the VirtualBox uninstall command uninstalled something it shouldn't have, but I'm not sure what. I've not encountered a problem like this before. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
