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.

A package for mutter (compositor) performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance/

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

The newly added gnome-shell-performance.install file enables 'realtime scheduling' for gnome-shell but doesn't set the gsettings pref org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['rt-scheduler']". Is this intentional? Or is the latter no longer needed? Also, that .install file doesn't need to be referenced in the source and sha256sums arays. Allthough I can't find specific info on that in the wiki, it's how other PKGBUILDs use it...

Hey @tannisroot, the updated version contains the fix.

Hi! Can you please add this patch to the PKGBUILD? It fixes broken wallpapers after resuming from sleep for Nvidia users. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/1084#note_492366

@everyone: if you were using any top-icon* extension, the new package update brings a fix for the high CPU usage.

@glorious-yellow I've updated the package taking into account your comment, thanks.

pacman -Q | grep mutter-781835-workaround can be replaced with pacman -Q mutter-781835-workaround; it's a bit cleaner and also avoids the edge case of a package name containing but not equalling mutter-781835-workaround.

@Saren MR 276 has been rebased and this time it can't be applied cleanly on 3.30 so I manually applied it and generated a diff that is now used instead. I also added a new patch which should improve the extension system.

@Terence, rebooted but now the workspace switcher is completely back to its usual behavior (20-30fps I think using the mouse to zoom in).

Not touching the workspace bar on the right and using the wheel it feels as smooth as a game HUD though with your Mutter workaround pkgbuild lol
