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/

@Saren & @Vash63

Use captured-event::instantaneous [performance] broke GDM for me.

GDM just showed a black screen and systemctl status gdm.service said accountservice: Could not get current seat: No data available

Removed that patch and GDM is now working like normal again.

@Vash63 does that mean js/ui: Use captured-event::instantaneous [performance] caused this?

Version 3.30.1+5+ge90ef9e22-1 broke my GDM also, though I was able to switch TTY and downgrade it without needing recovery mode. Going back to my existing package for 3.30.1+4+g5cd6b4ad1-1 worked.

@Dea993 Have you checked systemctl gdm logs? I had 3.30.1+5+ga4ef1bf57-1 and 3.30.1+5+g87403231e-1 on my desktop and laptop and they are working fine. Just reinstalled them few minutes ago and rebooted.

@Saren last update 3.30.1+5+g905a90d9e-1 (2018-11-02 15:25) broke the system, after upgrade and restart, GDM not starts, and i can't do anything (i can't switch tty)... the only solution was enter in recovery mode and reinstalling gnome-shell from official repo

Saren commented on 2018-11-02 15:02 (UTC)

@Dea993 I don't know why but the package version is unstable.

Dea993 commented on 2018-10-29 18:23 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow extra/gjs needs to be bumped to 1.55.1 first.
