Gnome Issue with Blue Desktop and No Icons

[joebax]

llo to everyone

If it is possible i need an help to fix an issue installing a software. The software installation didn’t finish properly and is not even able to write the installation log file but mainly it breaks Gnome. I was auble to anything and after a reboot and the new login had a blue wallpaper without any icons like the one in this post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1358…top-background .

I tried to remove ubuntu-desktop and all the gnome packages by

* apt purge ubuntu-desktop gnome-*

reboot and reinstall them but nothing i still have the blue screen with no icons. what other can i try to fix gnome?

About the application who generate the issue it was installed on an ubuntu 20.04 where was applied some hardening(i.e umask more restricted ) but as far as i understood the installer wrote to /opt/… and install some icons and mime types.

I was trying to understand what could have happened and what part on the hardening generate this issue during the software installation but still not claire, but for the moment i have no clue

Any help is appreciated

To be honest, it seems like what needs to be fixed here is the application or the way it’s distributed

i’m not an experte and i suppose you are right, the problem the application work in a not harden system.

So the problem is between the software and the hardeing which is made by lot of function…
