Have you installed the Breeze Icon Theme and also activated it in the digiKam settings under Appearance? I guess your Ubuntu icon theme doesn't have the appropriate "Earth" icon.

The Ubuntu package is useless because it is a snap package. Snap packages use a sandbox and are useless in combination with digiKam. Use our AppImage or the native digiKam version from a private repository.

Thanks.  Spot on all working now.  Went to synaptic ticked everything for breeze.  Thank you

Not sure where I got my digKam.  I do not believe it is snap - I try to avoid.  I believe I may have installed via synaptic.  The version shows as 4.7.5.0-3fakesync1.  But the installation of breeze is working fine.  Problem is solved for me.  But perhaps installation should include dependencies for Ubuntu 22.04?

Only the Breeze Icon theme fully supports digiKam. Ubuntu should install it as a dependency.
