If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use gnome-shell-performance-unstable


To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)


If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


The optional patches for performance and fixes are by default enabled.

While mutter-performance works great this package causes multiple issues for me

  • Xwayland always autostarts with the system (logs say that Xwayland-on-demand is disabled??)
  • Geoclue dies during boot
  • Screencasting doesnt work )no option, screencast service unavailable)
  • Gnome-shell sometimes fails to start

(even with rt-scheduler option disabled, just with this installed)
replacing gnome-shell-performance with gnome-shell fixes all of these issues

Do you have time to update it? Thank you for your work

@glorious-yellow, I had this too. The culprit turned out "Open Weather" extension, not this package.

Anyone else getting a memory leak? On my computer, gnome-shell memory usage starts at <1GB, but after 3 days uptime it is currently at 5GB. Also, overview animation becomes laggy after a few days uptime as well (drops to 10 fps in worst case).

Updated to gnome-44.

@thebigboo I don't care about your impatience. You don't pay & owe us maintainers.

FuelFlo commented on 2023-05-07 10:01 (UTC)

@thebigboo Dude, that's not how you talk to people who maintain this stuff for free in their spare time.

thebigboo commented on 2023-05-07 09:13 (UTC)

With all due respect. Update your s**t.

Interesting, I had tried running with --nocheck, but I guess that doesn't disable the dependency check for the tests.

saltyming commented on 2022-12-04 18:21 (UTC)

@saghm @phush0 Fixed it via disabling check() and tests meson setup option by default.
