[SOLVED] Icons can't be changed. Only gnome or faenza, not papirus

Hi to everyone here.
I am arch user with 4.14 xfce version installed. I apologize for a longer description of my problem. 
After last system update I ended up, before reboot, with open programs on my desktop which started to freeze, becoming non responsive. During update there was some error messages. I don't know if these errors are related to my problem but I will sum them here:

[2020-05-01T17:45:22+0200] [ALPM] upgraded graphviz (2.42.3-3 -> 2.44.0-1)
[2020-05-01T17:45:28+0200] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] Warning: Could not load "/usr/lib/graphviz/libgvplugin_rsvg.so.6" - It was found, so perhaps one of its dependents was not.  Try ldd.
.....
[2020-05-01T17:49:21+0200] [ALPM] running 'gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.hook'...
[2020-05-01T17:49:21+0200] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so: libicuuc.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
.....
[2020-05-01T17:49:24+0200] [ALPM] running 'update-mime-database.hook'...
[2020-05-01T17:49:24+0200] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/bin/update-mime-database: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

.

At that point, after system update without reboot, most of the programs were frozen I had to reboot and hope for best. After boot X was broken or lightdm. After some searching and reinstalling, downgrading, upgrading, mime update, kernel update, removing xfce settings, xfwm vblank problem I got system that work except I can't change icons. Only one that works are gnome default, high contrast and faenza. Numix and papirus doesnt work but my style and windows manager theme is numix.

Searching for "xfce icons wan't work" or similar didn't help. Any idea? Thanx.

Hello and welcome.

Did you fix your librsvg and libicuuc problem? The gdk-pixbuf is required to process svg-based icon themes (as is librsvg).

Things to check:

pacman -Qi icu

pacman -Qi librsvg

ldd /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so | grep icu

and what happens when you run this command?

sudo gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

After a fresh reboot, can you post back the contents of the ~/.xsession-errors file and the results of:

journalctl --user -b 0 --no-pager

...and look for error messages are svg processing.

Make sure you are using an up to date mirror and try re-installing librsvg and gdk-pixbuf2. You should not be getting those errors.

Hi ToZ and thanks for a quick reply.

It seems that my problem was that I didn't do cache update on gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders. That fixed icons problem.
Somehow I missed that step. I was only trying to update icons cache with gtk-update-icon-cache and I looked at gtk2 gtk3 direction which was obviously wrong.
Everything else was ok: icu and librsvg last version installed, no error svg messages.

Thanx a lot.
