Description Kel 2025-01-30 20:59:14 UTC 
This is likely the same bug as described in the Void Linux bugtracker below, possibly related to Git Submodules not being fetched in the source release tarball. 

This issue probably exists for all Fedora releases that have upgraded to Blender 4.3

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/53648

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Blender from Fedora repository.
2. Open application and navigate to sculpting in workspace.
3. Verify the asset drawer is missing the default sculpting assets.
Actual Results:  
On a clean installation, there will be no sculpting brushes in the drawer at the bottom of the screen. See linked Void Linux issue.

Expected Results:  
Default Blender brushes should be included, from the missing assets folder. See linked Void Linux issue.

Confirmed. Running on Nobara 41.

1. Install through dnf.
2. Open 2D Animation.
3. Grease Pencil Brushes are missing.
Comment 2 Luya Tshimbalanga 2025-03-10 09:18:18 UTC 
Looking at the ticket in Void Linux, the issue is definitely from upstream source tarball missing the asset. 
Upstream got the fix for the next releases according to https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/128359
Comment 3 Luya Tshimbalanga 2025-04-04 03:30:34 UTC 
Can you test https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-4a498908a2 which includes the sculpting asset for both Sculpting and 2D animation?
Comment 4 J. Bruce Fields 2025-04-07 14:18:24 UTC 
The sculpting tools are there now, but something still looks wrong--perhaps the icons that represent them are missing?

I'll attach a screenshot from flathub (what I expect) vs a screenshot from this fedora package.

Comment 7 Luya Tshimbalanga 2025-04-17 15:23:57 UTC 
Not sure why duplicated icons appears on sculpting tools as all functions are still present
Comment 8 Luya Tshimbalanga 2025-04-20 17:32:23 UTC 
After investigations, it turned out a Mesa driver issue version 25.0.0 and 25.0.2 as confirmed on https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/135222. Mesa 25.0.3 solves the issue and the update is published on https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2025-a6cb1a1aaa. Normally I would assign the real problem to MESA but it would be to verify if the linked update works as intended

Blender 4.4.1 tested with Mesa 25.0.3

Screenshot showing Blender with displayed icons in Sculpting mode.
Comment 10 J. Bruce Fields 2025-04-20 21:01:36 UTC 
Yes, with blender-4.4.0-1 and mesa-25.0.3-2, the sculpting tools are all there and the icons look fine to me as well.

Thank you for confirming. Let's close this report.
