Applications like EndeavorOS Welcome, Tor browser won’t show their actual icons on the taskbar after Gnome 46 update. I have observed that applications launched by invoking the binary through terminal using ./ behaves this way. (Not sure about the EOS Welcome) Is there any fix to this?
OS: EndeavourOS Linux x86_64. DE: GNOME 46.1. Icons: Papirus [GTK2/3].
[Edit: This is not a freshly installed system. Icons were working fine till Gnome 45.]
Try creating a new user profile and see if the error is reproduced there.
created a new user, and tested under it, but its the same.
Ah ok. Then it’s definitely a bug with Gnome. Sometimes the user configs can get messed up and make Gnome act weird, but I guess it’s not the case here.
Maybe you can roll back up a previous version? What’s your distro?
Endeavour OS. Unfortunately I cannot rollback, not using btrfs (using LUKS). Anyeay I dont have a previous snapshot.
you should make backups from time to time. even a half assed backup is better than none. like you could just get a cheap USB drive and tar your whole system onto it. nowadays it’s faster than one might think. USB drives are availible up to terabytes and the newer USB ports are really fast.
of course, there are better solutions, but this is quick and easy and helps with everything but broken boot loader or broken partition layout.
