[SOLVED] Missing Icons?

Hello guys,

Somehow, i did "sudo rm -r /usr/share/icons" and i lost my "default" folder. I downloaded fresh icons for my system and it works well but... a lot of icons are missing in my system, here is image

Thanks

Just run

$ pacman -Qkk

and see what packages own the missing icons and reinstall them.

Have you actually looked at the output? You don't have to reinstall some random package from that output: you have to reinstall all the packages that have missing files... since your damage is limited to /usr/share/icons, you can restrict your search using the command

$ pacman -Qk | grep "/usr/share/icons"

Note that if you installed some icon themes manually (eg. putting them directly in  /usr/share/icons), then there's nothing you can do except to reinstall them manually.

Woah, that grep command is so powerful. I'm noob, heh. But yea, for example my Chromium is missing icon. I did:

sudo pacman -S chromium

and it reinstalled whole program, however, main icon in menu is still missing :S
