Corrupted fonts, wallpaper, and icons after update


I updated my system, and after rebooting it looked like this. I would like to point out that I walked away from my computer while it was updating, and when I came back it was suspended, so it may have suspended during the update. I changed the wallpaper back to normal, reinstalled cantarell and adwaita icons, and rebooted. After I rebooted again, it was still broken, including the wallpaper. The screenshot is from the second reboot.

Changing the icon theme to something else and changing it back fixes it, but it breaks again after rebooting. The wallpaper corrupts in the same way every time.

The GDM login screen is also affected by the broken fonts.

It may have suspended (shutdown?) following an incomplete dup. What GPU(s) do you have? Have you thought to check if there are old packages remaining installed?

zypper --no-refresh se -si | grep 'tem Pac' | grep -v plication

If on AMD hardware, please go here.

I have an AMD Radeon RX 6600. Also, what do I do after running that command? It only shows the kernel.

I can’t restore it because it seems to have also messed up Yast

Boot a Readonly Snapshot.
And then do a

sudo snapper list
sudo snapper rollback <number>
sudo reboot

Thank you so much, I’ll wait until a fix to update.

You don’t want a working system in the meantime?

I did the rollback, so it’s fixed, but I won’t update my system until there is a fix so it doesn’t happen again when I update.

The problem is resolved. But you have to do a vendor change from packman to openSUSE Tumbleweed to get the fixed Mesa versions. packman is still broken.

That image shows your only obsolete packages surviving the dup are 6.9.3 kernel*. There is nothing stale but those few remaining. Had the dup exited without finishing, the list would be much longer. :slight_smile:

I think the issue is related to a bug between LTO and AMD drivers (if you have the Packman repo) so, basically the solution is in https://forums.opensuse.org/t/catastrophic-result-after-todays-graphics-driver-update/175911/165: disable the Packman repo while they update or sync the RPM files, run the command posted in the link, restart and that’s all.
