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.

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!

Im getting the following error:

[dawid@dawid-pc ~]$ cd gnome-shell-performance
[dawid@dawid-pc gnome-shell-performance]$ makepkg -scCi
==> WARNING: A package has already been built, installing existing package...

[dawid@dawid-pc gnome-shell-performance]$ 

Any idea how to overcome that? Im trying to get smooth experience on Surface Pro 3 as it is working fine but i have repeatedly stutters with animations and sluggishness with browser scrolling and animations

Update: detect mutter-781835-workaround before applying MR276

Vash63 commented on 2018-12-11 20:16 (UTC)

Update: Figured out what was wrong with GDM while reviewing the MR on gitlab - it is dependent on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/283/commits

This package as-is will not work without this MR, which is included in mutter-781835-workaround but I was not using that package at the time (using my own since that package caused some issues for me due to MR168 on it a while back).

Still unable to load GDM or gnome-shell with these patches. Have Intel integrated video adapter.

Vash63 commented on 2018-11-17 13:04 (UTC)

I'm still unable to load gdm when MR 276 is included even after today's update. This is on Nvidia drivers if that is relevant.

DeadMetaler commented on 2018-11-15 23:00 (UTC)

No need to comment MR 276. Just replace 5453f3dd to d12c86cf commit.

Vash63 commented on 2018-11-12 14:25 (UTC)

Commenting out MR 276 does in fact fix it for me.

@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.

Saren commented on 2018-11-06 13:57 (UTC)

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