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.)

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.

@ewout This also happens in the official package. Maybe you should make a bug report to the package's maintainer.

File "/usr/lib/mutter-10/plugins/libdefault.so" from package "mutter-performance" is missing dependency "libmutter-clutter-10.so.0"

@abrattic I guess the crash is from backported !1441.

Unfortunately, !1441 is synced to mutter 42 now, so backport to 41 is unlikely trivial.

@Saren @FiestaLake Could you take a look at the discussion here? https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5218

saltyming commented on 2022-02-22 05:35 (UTC)

@ewout We follow the original package's dependencies as much as we can. xorg-server-xvfb is in checkdepends and this is also same in the original mutter package.

You'd better report that to mutter package's maintainer first.

Fails to build

Program xvfb-run found: NO

../mutter-performance/meson.build:308:2: ERROR: Program 'xvfb-run' not found or not executable

Please include xorg-server-xvfb as makedepend.

@FiestaLake I have fixed this. The patch command has to be placed below the git reset commands.

saltyming commented on 2022-02-17 03:23 (UTC)

I will check a few hours later.
