--- Comment #4 from myndstr...@protonmail.ch --- /usr/share/applications/org.kde.ksysguard.desktop looks normal and has this set: Icon=utilities-system-monitor /usr/share/applications/emacs25.desktop is empty but has the proper icon in the folder /usr/share/applications/ /home/username/.local/share/plasma_icons/emacs25.desktop has the broken icon that is shown in the panel it has this: [Desktop Entry] Icon=unknown Name=emacs25.desktop Type=Link URL=/usr/share/applications/emacs25.desktop I'll copy what I wrote beneath the third screenshot at the linked question here: These two problems have to do with this file: ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc. The fix described at rglinuxtech.com/?p=1626 (deleting [Configuration][General] entries and renaming [Configuration] to [Configuration][General]) didn't help much. The icons show in ~/.local/share/applications/ but not in ~/.local/share/plasma_icons/. I already tried kbuildsycoca5. The file still contains all my favorites but Plasma does not load them. I can still add favorites and add apps to the panel (widget). When I add one of the apps to the panel that are already present on it but whose icons doesn't show and then make the other entry in plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc look exactly the same the newly added app icon shows but the old one doesn't. This is because when I add it anew it adds a new file to ~/.local/share/plasma_icons/ while the other one's icon is broken because in the file it says "Icon=unknown" (the only difference is that the new entry links to the new (1) file): -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
