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.

@gaougalos this is an acknowledged issue when using mesa-git that has nothing to do with this package: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=110141

Use regular mesa and try again.

Dependency glesv2 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)

@Terence Thanks, I should have done that before commenting.

In case anyone is wondering, it looks like it's this one:

# backends: Do not reload keymap on new keyboard notifications
# https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/579
git cherry-pick -n b01edc22

After rebuilding with this one commented, my custom keyboard shortcuts once again seem to work.

I should add the correction to my previous comment that in fact none of my custom keyboard shortcuts were working, not just those using <Super>. Only the default ones worked.

Terence commented on 2019-06-05 00:23 (UTC)

@Saren what we need to do is to create the new repo and ask to delete the old one while preserving the comments and votes.

Terence commented on 2019-06-05 00:22 (UTC)

@mwohah Check if it's the same with regular mutter/gnome-shell. If it's the same, try to searchfor similar open issues on GitLab and otherwise open a new one. If regular mutter/gnome-shell works, try to disable the MRs the package add until you find the one that is responsible of the issue and report it as a new discussion on the MR page (use binary search).

@ciupenhauer Try to to the same.

I reverted. Resume from sleep is very sketchy since updating to last version, fails 1 out of 5

Gert-dev commented on 2019-06-03 19:12 (UTC)

I'm experiencing an issue where custom keyboard shortcuts bound to the <Super> modifier (e.g. <Super> + T) via the GNOME keyboard shortcuts panel no longer work. Default shortcuts, such as <Super> + Left shown there, still work, however.

Anyone else having this problem or know of an already open issue related to this? It worked fine in 3.32.2-1 from the official repositories.

Also the desktop stays responsive while 100% CPU load (e.g. handbrake encoding video)

KDE Kwin 5.16 (beta) now really feels left behind in terms of responsiveness and lag.

deezid commented on 2019-05-31 17:29 (UTC)

NICE, no more slowdowns with 4K video playing in Chrome...

Saren commented on 2019-05-31 15:35 (UTC)

Or we can always change the package description, just leave the package name as is, to avoid hassles.

If you think it's better to make a new package (name), we can purposefully fail the build and require users to install the replacement package.

What do you think?
