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!

@hussam interesting, I'll consider it, thanks!

I have a bunch of patches https://github.com/hussamT/gnome-shell-patches that heavily improve my gnome-shell experience on Xorg.

  • actions.patch (This menu is buggy and replicated anyway in applications on 3.34+ so remove it).
  • disable-maximize-animations.patch (maximize window animation causes leaks on nvidia and this isn't a feature you will miss)
  • force_reload.patch (eases evolution-data-server issues)
  • mr59.patch (makes blurred backgrounds look better. this is upstream MR rebased on current master branch)
  • notification.patch (makes notifications on lock screen look better)
  • revert-gc-call-removal.patch (restores agressive GC as it seems more stable now)
  • revert763531.patch (prevents zombie processes on restarting gnome-shell)

@Claw256 I'm not using yay so I don't know, please try to build it manually withmakepkg -siand make sure you have /usr/lib/libpipewire-0.3.so (this is coming from mutter-performance, not gnome-shell-performance btw.

I'm getting a dependency error for this latest version as of 2020-03-22:

Run-time dependency libpipewire-0.3 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake) meson.build:248:2: ERROR: Dependency "libpipewire-0.3" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake A full log can be found at /home/fearghal/.cache/yay/mutter-performance/src/build/meson-logs/meson-log.txt ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

Here is the full log, I am using yay to download from the aur: https://pastebin.com/0Bm6HhuK

Edit: I should add that even after installing the pipewire package from the Arch package repo (Not aur), I am still getting the dependency error.

Hey y'all, I've updated this and mutter-performance with some cleanups and synced with master, let me know how it goes and if you have any suggestions for MR I should include by default.

@Terence Removing !923 does not resolve issue. At the lock screen when I click "Unlock" button the button goes disabled state, appears loading indicator and nothing happens. But this error message appears in system journal: https://pastebin.com/raw/cTAdPUCx

UPD: Removing !923 probably may resolve issue. I just forgot to clean build (i am using YAY helper). I have now cleared the build and try to build package but can't. Error occurs in prepare stage, because git cherry-pick fails on line 117 due to changes in !925. Also !923 has some changes that may resolve issue https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/923#note_684927 . But... I can't build package.

Terence commented on 2020-01-25 22:57 (UTC)

I appreciate your input @glorious-yellow, I'll find time to update this package tomorrow. @kode54 @rori @muchacho this is due to !923. Remove it from the array and should be good. I'm considering using https://github.com/pp3345/gnome-with-patches for this package and mutter-performance now as it will solve a lot of problems, hence why it takes some time.

!936 with !948 yields completely smooth activities overview animation.

glorious-yellow commented on 2020-01-25 17:20 (UTC)

I found a method to get diff files from merge requests directly:

Cherry-picking 30a25112 for !925 throws "fatal: bad revision '30a25112'". I could only get !925 work by applying this patch: https://gist.github.com/glitsj16/ea360b4c24ed33fe4bf752033249d799. Also, !936 yields better performance impact when combined with !948. The latter works fine when using git_cp_by_msg '!948' "overviewControls: Use ClutterActor's translation-x".
