I am currently dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS.
Recently my computer froze while I was in Ubuntu, I could move the mouse and nothing else. I had to unplug it. When I restarted, my grub bootloader was corrupted which I fixed with the boot repair utility. But now that I am back in linux, most of the icons that came with ubuntu are gone.
A picture speaks a thousand words
So far I have tried (with a restart inbetween):
sudo apt-get install --reinstall adwaita-icon-theme
<reboot>
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-gnome-desktop
<reboot>
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons
<reboot>
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt remove ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
<reboot>
When I run gnome-control-center, I get missing icon warnings in the console:
(software-properties-gtk:7558): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:51:02.450: Could not load a pixbuf from /com/ubuntu/themes/Yaru-purple/3.0/assets/check-symbolic.svg. This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.
