Weird all my icons (associated with ui buttons) in dashboard 2.0 show now is just an outline of a square? I have stop and restarted NR, the flows have not changed. Using MDI icons of course. No errors or such in the NR log.

Make a test flow using a raw template node just to illustrate the issue...

Does not matter what ui node I use, what icon I use, all broken in the same way.

Node Red 5.0
PiOS 13 fully patched
Node 25.2.1

It's ok for me.

What happened immediately before you noticed that it was no longer working? New nodes installed? Upgraded something?

Check in the browser developer tools console to see if any errors are shown.

Also show us the node red startup log please. That may contain a clue.

It is not advisable to use nodejs 25, which is not an LTS version. You should use 22 or 24. Though I think it unlikely that that is the cause of this problem.
I suggest upgrading to the latest node red and make sure you are using the latest version of the dashboard.
Also which browser are you using? Can you try a different one?

I did a npm rebuild... restarted NR again, and the issue resolved. I tried multiple browsers. The node-red-log did not, in this case report any thing at all applicable. Log was pretty clean, other than some MQTT browser connections, just the usual start up of flow information. I had already upgraded to NR 5.0 with node 24 some time ago, I only noticed the issue this morning, it may have been present for a while, since I had not accessed the dashboard in a while, post 5.0 install.

You said you were using node 25.
Either way, after upgrading node you need to do npm rebuild, or npm rebuild so that any nodes that require building against nodejs get rebuilt. If you use the recommended script to upgrade nodejs then that will be done for you, but if you upgrade nodejs manually then you should to do it yourself.

Just to note that the script won’t get you node 25 so yes must have been a manual upgrade so would need a manual rebuild
