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 mutter-performance-unstable


The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.


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.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

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 performance patches are by default enabled.

@nowy I do bump it up when it's only required.

The latest commit only impacts building process, which isn't necessary to be rebuilt for people who already built it before.

And I already bumped up pkgrel with the commit that fixes dependency issues.

nowy commented on 2022-11-27 11:16 (UTC)

please update pkgrel value.

@RealOrRandom Fixed it by adding it to makedepends temporarily.

EDIT: Will ultimately disable tests in meson setup so it won't require xvfb eventually.

EDIT: Disabled tests option in the project's meson setup if _enable_check is not set.

RealOrRandom commented on 2022-11-27 10:00 (UTC)

This should have a build dependency on extra/xorg-server-xvfb. The build fails without it:

 Program xvfb-run found: NO

mutter-performance/meson.build:381:2: ERROR: Program 'xvfb-run' not found or not executable

@glorious-yellow We have no difference with 43.1. Check the commit and the patch I added.

RealOrRandom commented on 2022-11-01 08:00 (UTC)

gnome 43 has been moved out of testing.

saltyming commented on 2022-10-27 13:40 (UTC)

@bertino I will try adding it in 43.0-1

bertino commented on 2022-10-26 23:08 (UTC) (edited on 2022-10-26 23:09 (UTC) by bertino)

Could you also add MR !1880 as it seems fitting for this package.

saltyming commented on 2022-09-14 14:57 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow Merged recent changes in mr2487 (gnome-42 version of mr1441).
