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.


Note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

gnome-shell/src/st/meson.build:195:2: ERROR: Dependency "libmutter-test-11" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

then you might want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Rebuild mutter-performance package with _enable_check=y env.

And try again.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

Warning: Before making a report of something broken, make sure it is not caused by an extension or a custom theme!

Ah that explains it @crisjbillington, I'll add a pin comment saying to be sure to have extensions disabled and use adwaita theme before reporting an issue. In the meanwhile, try to patch the theme or just disable this MR locally.

@Terence I have just realised, I am using a custom session: The "Yaru" session from Ubuntu, which applies the Yaru theming to gnome-shell. In a regular gnome session, I do not see the issue. Therefore this is possibly a bug with the Yaru gnome shell theming.

@Terence thanks for your efforts, here is the log file:

https://pastebin.com/BY599H6W

This is an X session with extensions disabled. I logged in, tapped super, typed the first few letters of "alacritty", and hit enter. Alacritty launched (though no search results were visible), and then I immediately ran the journalctl command from alacritty, so the log ends there.

@chrisjbillington Please replace the patch with this one: https://send.firefox.com/download/c106023fe6e5ca28/#gtwHpbGiLfxW6HFwIAplfA, run updpkgsums, build, install and reproduce the issue then send back the log file you will have generated using journalctl -b /usr/bin/gnome-shell > search.log"

@Terence latest update does not resolve the issue for me unfortunately.

Also, just in case I misled with my last comment - the app grid is not actually blank: if I click the 'show applications' button on the dash I do see the app grid. What I don't see are app search results upon typing into the search box in the overview. So just clarifying in case the wrong bug is being hunted.

@chrisjbillington Thanks, can you try the updated version?

As one datapoint, I am once again seeing a blank app grid now that !110 has been re-enabled, despite the potential fix.

Terence commented on 2019-07-30 17:17 (UTC)

@TheAifam5 I updated this package with the problematic MR re-enabled but with a potential fix. Would you mind testing it and report back if it fixed it?

kode54 commented on 2019-07-26 03:59 (UTC)

I posted a possible bug report to the mutter-performance comment listing, not sure if it applies to this particular package instead.

@deezid If you disable extensions, does it still happen? In addition to that, please try the gnome-shell-git and mutter-git packages, disable foreign extensions and tell me if you still encounter those problems.
