Cosmic DE icons and window buttons not appearing
Info:
When I installed Cosmic DE on Arch Linux, I saw that the icons in file manager and the window icons on the app are not appearing, such as the window decorations. Apparently, the reason for this is the Vulkan drivers which were not installed properly on Arch or which I had to install manually.
Solution:
To solve this, you need to use these following commands to install the necessary drivers:
sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon
- `sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader
sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
When I installed these packages in the following order above, when I was trying to install lib32-vulkan-icd-loader
it told me that it was already installed. After installing all these packages, this solved, for me, the issues in the Cosmic Desktop Environment.
