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.

@Terence: Had lots of glitches on the dock and top panel after suspend with these two patches: !505 and !595

Uncommenting these fixed everything for me. Seems they cause more harm than they help. Latest Nvidia driver/1080Ti

Edit: Just activated both again. Without any of these the app menu is slow as hell. With just 505 it's fast again but the glitches never disappear. With 505 and 595 it's fast but has glitches for a few seconds after suspend...

Hey again @Terence. The gnome-shell from ArchLinux repository does not have that issue. Please read the following thread about that issue here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1456

Hey @Terence. Sorry for missleading information. The issue appears to be in the application grid, which i reported here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1456#note_560248 But first, I need to check if the issue is present on the original gnome-shell package. The issue which I wrote previously, was looking like my issue where the application grid was empty but was related to the dash (left side dash) and not to the grid where the applications icon shows up.

Hey @TheAifam5, thank you very much for your report, I added the related MR. Please try again and tell me if it works for you.

Hey! I have an issue with this package. The icons in dash does not show up anymore. The exactly the same issue was fixed by the GNOME team here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1053

Regards, TheAifam5

This package needs to be updated after mutter-781835-workaround was renamed to mutter-performance.

Terence commented on 2019-05-05 16:21 (UTC)

@deezid Thanks for the report, I disabled the patch by default. @tannisroot you will have to manually uncomment it.

deezid commented on 2019-05-05 10:28 (UTC)

Since the patch helping with black wallpapers after Suspend (which btw never has been an issue here) has been applied, Gnome shell is messed up after suspend here. Noisy backgrounds, bright green fonts and white borders on the right.

Terence commented on 2019-05-04 20:19 (UTC)

@glitsj16 I thought I could automate the process but we can't touch user settings so I just made the script print a command the user needs to run to enable it.

Terence commented on 2019-05-04 18:57 (UTC)

@glitsj16 It's still needed, although I figured out this only works on a Wayland session. I updated the script, thanks for your remarks.
