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-1.80.124-1.x86_64 111/120
Running scriptlet: brave-browser-1.80.124-1.x86_64 111/120

`

i checked the mentioned file but can not see what the issue is

also using some appimage app it does not show up the icon for example using wire (require fuse and fuse-libs pkgs)

differance between firefox icon and brave next to it

I found a solution/workaround for this one, I believe it’s a bug.

I installed google-chrome on a rocky9 vm since I noticed that when installing the rpm version on rl10, the icons are not populated under /usr/share/icons/hicolor so I manually copied all the .png icons from rl9 to my rl10 same directory, then there is abug in xdg-icon-resource, so I edited the script with the follwoing command: sudo vim /usr/bin/xdg-icon-resource then look for line 981, it looks something like this path=“$(xdg_realpath “$1”)” 2> /dev/null` # Normalize path and remove the ` after /dev/null then uninstall and reinstall brave/chrome and see if that works if not then do this to install a spesific icon xdg-icon-resource install --size 48 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/google-chrome.png logout and back in and now I have an icon, hope it helps!

The bug is reported here I believe: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-96090
