Hi all

If you're using linux mint debian and QGIS 4.0, there's a chance all the graphical icons will be missing!

This is because LMDE7 doesn't have all the qt6 SVG parts installed by default. Either search for "qt6-svg-plugins" in the software manager and install it, or head to a terminal and do: 
sudo apt install qt6-svg-plugins
Once that is installed, re-open QGIS - and all the icons we know and love will be back.

Also handy to remember If you need to do a system rebuild.

With regards,

Adam
