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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
