Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

@leonardof: I am pretty is not related to backintime. I think it is any issue in Qt or adwaita. The problem is that if you search for a icon (e.g "list-add") with Qt it searches only for icons that have that name, but adwaita only delivers files with the "-symbolic" postfix.

@leonardof: Same problem here, see https://imgur.com/a/PwlSTcj I am using Adwaita icon theme

@leonardof: I have icons in the toolbar. There is no application icon in the package and the icon defined in the desktop file is the generic document-save icon. The desktop file hasn't changed since 2016, so maybe it's due to the icon theme. I'm using Papirus-Dark.

EDIT: The Paprius Team suggests changing it to systemback instead. It does look nicer.

Anyone else seeing text instead of icons in the toolbar, and a symbolic icon instead of the app icon in the launcher? I'm on GNOME, and it started around the upgrade to GNOME 42.

Cannot reproduce your error.

I got the following error on both this and the git version and I wasn't using an AUR helper. Possible missing dependency. Not sure.

make: *** [Makefile:567: unittest] Alarm clock

check() fails in clean chroot, needs python-dbus, openssh, and rsync as checkdepends to succeed.

AUR helpers are not helpful. Build with makepkg and it works fine.
