Upgrade to 15.6 lead to transmission GUI issue

English Install/Boot/Login

I copied transmission-gtk.desktop to ~/.local/share/applcations
Then changed the line Exec=transmission-gtk %U to

Exec=GSK_RENDERER=cairo transmission-gtk %U

Then removed GSK_RENDERER=cairo from /etc/environment
Then reboot.
Unfortunately the issue for transmission is back.

transmission > issue
NetworkManager > works fine for what I use
I don’t use the other apps

If nothing easy can fix it I’ll be back to the previous workaround. This laptop is a spare for specific use not vital.

Works here on Gnome, but a logout/login is needed after saving the modified .local file.
I assume that Mate is similar, but I don’t know for sure.

You may try update-desktop-database -v ~/.local/share/applications which should show errors if there is something wrong.
See Update_database_of_desktop_entries.

Search path is now: [/home/jp/.local/share/applications]
File "/home/jp/.local/share/applications/userapp-transmission-gtk-8X72B3.desktop" lacks MimeType key
File "/home/jp/.local/share/applications/torbrowser.desktop" lacks MimeType key

File "/home/jp/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Exact Audio Copy/Exact Audio Copy.desktop" lacks MimeType key

Good catch!
Something with Transmission and few other apps.

I found out another workaround and I’ll keep it.
In the pkg list I found
transmission-qt and transmission-qt-lang.
So I removed -gtk based and activited qt.
Working fine now
BTW, Exact Audio Copy is working fine and I deinstalled Tor browser.

Thank you for your help
