Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with my kde desktop and the icon themes. I've installed a bunch of them and after trying so many I can't seem to be able to switch back to some icon sets. For example I've installed Caledonia and kawoken iconsets.
When I first switched to Caledonia from the system settings/application appearance all the icons appeared ok. After that I've switched to kawoken and stayed with it for a few days and all good as well. Now when I switched back to Caledonia I get a lot of icons not working properly, meaning I either get a ? instead of the icon or no icons at all. Rebooting didn't fix the issue, nor deleting the file /var/temp/kdecache-$user/icon-cache.kcache
I've also tried deleting the whole Caledonia folder and downloading it again.

Any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

thank you,

when deleting the cache it is best to do it with your KDE session not running

is that the only cache file or am I missing something?

you can try running kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental which rebuilds the system configuration cache

It worked! Thanks for that!

I also fixed a bunch of errors about some missing ;
