[Solved] STM32Cube IDE Icon Missing on Fedora 41

Subject: [Solved] STM32Cube IDE Icon Missing on Fedora 41

Message:

Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded to Fedora 41 and noticed that the STM32Cube IDE icon was missing. After some searching, I found a solution on Reddit that worked perfectly. Sharing it here to help others who might face the same problem.

Issue:

The STM32Cube IDE uses an .ico file for its application icon. On Fedora 41, icons or images in formats like .bmp, .xpm, .ico, etc., might not display correctly if specific packages are missing.

Solution:

To fix this issue, install the gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra package by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo dnf install gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra

After installation, log out and back in (or reboot), and the icons should display properly.

Explanation:

The gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra package adds support for additional image formats like ICO, BMP, XPM, and others. Without this package, applications relying on these formats can’t render their icons or images correctly.

Hope this helps anyone else experiencing this issue!
