Hi .bashrc on bullseye contains following lines ``` # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color) case "$TERM" in xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;; esac ``` So we only have colors in the terminal emulator, but not in virtual linux console. This could be fixed by

I thought it was clear, but I was wrong. Telegram from website ( version 3.0.1 ), running in KDE under Unstable. Everything was ok until Bullseye came out and a tsunami of new packages arrived to Unstable. Since that moment the icon disappeared. Everything seems to work fine, except for that icon.
