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.

@alex4401 I see the same problem. I commented out the various cherry-picks a few at a time and determined that !575 seems to be the issue. Reported upstream here:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/575#note_550478

Saren commented on 2019-07-09 13:04 (UTC)

Great. How did it work?

alex4401 commented on 2019-07-09 11:42 (UTC)

Minimized windows (by window control buttons) are now returning to their normal state improperly. For me, they visually open mostly in the second half of the screen (or with 3/4 of the window below Dash to Panel taskbar) but technically they're are back at their original position as I am able to interact with the affected windows by clicking where anywhere where they should be. Alt+tabing to another application and alt+tabbing back to the affected application restores it to the correct state.

Also, Coverflow alt-tab extension (most notably, Timeline setting) is not compatible with the latest updates - while the main functionality works as expected, the wallpaper isn't redrawn when going through the window list (and the remains of windows scrolled by appear until the alt-tab is finished).

@Terence I am okay with the package rename. Can we get an AUR admin to help us with this matter?

Also in the PKGBUILD of mutter-performance I think it's good to use add mutter-781835-workaround to provides and conflicts, or replaces.

Terence commented on 2019-07-09 09:45 (UTC)

@alex4401 Glad it works now :)

@deezid That's weird, maybe try to provide more info and/or find what MR produces it.

@chrisjbillington Your issue was reported and is being tracked here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/493#note_549833

@Saren I've created https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance and I am also writing a forum post where all the discussions unrelated to packaging will go. Can I have your review of the package and approval? I'll then proceed to ask to move this one to the other.

alex4401 commented on 2019-07-08 20:37 (UTC)

Thank you, @Terence. As far as I am able to tell, it does work flawlessly now.

deezid commented on 2019-07-08 18:38 (UTC) (edited on 2019-07-08 18:48 (UTC) by deezid)

@Terence: noticing some weird stuff too. Some applications won't open anymore or open as black windows.

More Info: Nautilus opens as a black window. The applications not starting issue was caused by a Bzip2 update.

deezid commented on 2019-07-08 18:11 (UTC)

@chrisjbillington: seems to be Wayland related. No issues here @Terence: huge boost in activities - especially with mouse interaction. Very smooth now

chrisjbillington commented on 2019-07-08 17:16 (UTC) (edited on 2019-07-08 20:13 (UTC) by chrisjbillington)

After updating from the version from yesterday (3.32.2+32+g947da2c5d-2) to today (3.32.2+40+gccab0f470-1), I now get a segfault upon showing the activities overview.

Culprit seems to be an interaction between !677 and !493, see comment threads of those two MRs for discussion.

Edit: Yes, as mentioned by @deezid, the segfault is only on Wayland

Edit: Commenting out the !493 cherry pick resolves the issue for me.
