bwrap failed to load image-missing.svg

After upgrading my system with `yay -Syu`, Chromium crashes when I try to use the "Save As" feature by `Ctrl S`. This issue has occurred on both of my computers following the system update. Is there any one can help? Thank you!

The error reports:

(chromium:3242): Gtk-WARNING **: 17:12:24.081: Could not load a pixbuf from icon theme.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

Re: bwrap failed to load image-missing.svg

I had a similar issue in Firefox. Downgrading `gdk-pixbuf` seems to have fixed it for me.

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.42.12-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Re: bwrap failed to load image-missing.svg

It looks like the better solution is to just remove symlinks from ~/.local/share/fonts that point outside this directory, since these can cause problems inside the bwrap container.

find ~/.local/share/fonts -type l -ok rm {} \;

Once the problematic symlinks are removed, gdk-pixbuf2 works correctly in newer versions (at least for me).

Of course, you can have the same problem in other directories shown in your log

Re: bwrap failed to load image-missing.svg

I experienced the same issue, and it seems to be related to the AppArmor profile. You have two options: you can either disable the AppArmor profile or you can modify the profile by adding the following lines to grant the necessary permissions.

  # glycin-loaders sandboxed
  /usr/bin/bwrap ixr,
  @{PROC}/sys/kernel/overflowuid r,
  @{PROC}/sys/kernel/overflowgid r,
  /usr/lib/glycin-loaders/[0-9]*+/glycin-* ixr,
  owner @{HOME}/.cache/glycin/** rw,
