Hey everyone, anyone having problems with installed apps not having their icons? ive just installed 10 and noticed for example, chrome, & my video software dont have their icons… anyone else have anything like this? Cheers

For clarity, since there are multiple: which Desktop Environment?

sorry that would help wouldnt it. workstation

[image] App icon does not show up Rocky Linux Help & Support Hello after installing rl 10 server with gui many app failed to show up it’s icon for example during installing brave i get the following error ` 111/120 Installing : brave-browser-1.80.124…

Don’t forget that chrome, brave, and “your” video software are not part of Rocky.

Oh lovely. Didn’t see that, thanks!!!

This is caused by a buggy script, see xdg-icon-resource: unbreak syntax by removing stray grave accent for the upstream fix. If you don’t want to wait for RH to ship this, you can simply apply the fix yourself. Open /usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource with an editor, go to line 981 and remove the stray grave…

Hiya!!! That’s great! Thanks for that… I’ll try to fix it, as it is annoying me, but at least I know it will be fixed at somepoint

I’m running Rocky 10.1 fully updated but was irritated by seeing the EOF error when Chrome installs and the wrong icon. Thanks so much for posting this. I knew there was error in the xdg-icon-resource file but I didn’t find it on my own. That simple fix lets the correct Chrome icon show now.

Anyone having problems with app icons?
