#273301 — Color shifted desktop in testing with LXQt desktop

Hi

I am not sure what package is causing it. But after an upgrade yesterday 
the yellow flowers in my wallpaper and the yellow icons on the desktop 
and in pcmanfm-qt appear blue. As well as some buttons on popups like 
shutdown confirm. Icons in the panel and some menu selections are still 
yellow.

If I move the wallpaper and icons to another linux install the flowers 
and icons are still yellow.


Not sure how to report this bug, how to find out whats causing it, or 
how to fix it.

Is every yellow thing blue, or just those?  Are other colors correct?

Objects in the panel are the right color, yellow icons which are yellow. 
Conky is still yellow text. The desktop and icons in pcmanfm-qt are blue 
when they should be yellow. Since pcmanfm-qt handles the desktop, its at 
least consist. When copying the blue icons to another install they are 
yellow.

It's not your monitor acting up.

Blue is the opposite color from yellow, at least in RGB.  Maybe pcmanfm-qt
is inverting everything?  Switch to a desktop image with a bunch of
different color swatches and see how they look, and compare to the same
image viewed elsewhere.  Something like

Not familiar with LXQt.

Looks like dependency hell is the problem. There are over 800 packages 
being held back from testing. Its likely some dependency of pcmanfm-qt 
was upgraded but there are others blocking pcmanfm-qt from upgrading. 
Way to many upgrades to do by hand and trying in synaptic removes a ton 
of packages.

You might try to use Aptitude from the command line. I find aptitude
has the best solver among the package managers.

Maybe something like:

    aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade

safe-upgrade will upgrade as many packages as it can upgrade without
removing existing packages.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it times out no matter what I do. Its a 
very old testing install that follows testing. Its likely fubar because 
of the move from qt5 to qt6. I will just have to rebuild the install, 
and its not hard if I save the config files. Its just finding the time 
now to do it.

Forgot to add, the other colors on the desktop and pcmanfm-qt are off. 
They are right on the panel. All colors are correct when logging in 
(lightdm).
