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.

!602 commit has been updated to: f12eddc1 Also add !568 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/568/commits which will lower CPU usage while dragging windows. Testing atm and seems to do the job.

My installation through octopi first failed with a fatal: bad revision 'bfdf54fa'. After commenting this one it was a fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' which had to be commented as well. I used octopi on Manjaro for installation which crashed after it had finished the installation. I think it still did well, at least shows as being installed.

@mwohah I'd need you to do the report yourself: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues as you are the one who can add details. Don't forget to mention this is a regression caused by !579. Thanks in advance.

@glorious-yellow Thanks, updated.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/363 has been merged

Terence commented on 2019-06-07 16:02 (UTC)

@mwohah Thank you very much for your investigation, I'm reporting the problem upstream.

@Saren I think we need to open a forum post for this package and gnome-shell-performance so we can keep discussion here to a minimum as it's not really designed for discussions like that.
