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.

@DeadMetaler I explicitly enabled manually it with sudo chrt -f -R --pid 99 <PID> and I think it should be the same.

Can't install the latest version. Fails with a selinuxenabled error (I don't have any selinux-related packages installed here, maybe that's why).

EDIT: Fixed by installing selinux-python and selinux-python2

«I didn't observe changes in shell smoothness compared to 3.30, although realtime scheduling is inplace.»

Check realtime with chrt -p (PID of gnome-shell)

Is it working?

Many of your favorite extensions should work now, although some of them requires you to install from git or manually change some code. Also I used Unite instead of No Title Bar for now. The only extension that no longer works is "Trash" for now.

I didn't observe changes in shell smoothness compared to 3.30, although realtime scheduling is inplace.

I have the same issue emaxoda. It seems like it's trying to use source from Daniel Van Vugt instead of main repo.

when i install this package it doesnt has the same build number as the one on the page (3.32.0+40+g943a6279e-1) and it will keep asking for it to be updated on pamac and yay. am i doing something wrong?

glorious-yellow commented on 2019-03-19 01:51 (UTC)

@rodneyck, run pacman -S gsettings-desktop-schemas and then answer yes when asked to remove conflicting packages.

glorious-yellow commented on 2019-03-19 00:20 (UTC)

With 3.32, activities overview animation is 100% smooth.

How to check that realtime is working?

Entered sudo setcap CAP_SYS_NICE=+ep /usr/bin/gnome-shell gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['rt-scheduler']"

Rebooted. chrt -p PID (gnome-shell) and see:

pid 591's current scheduling policy: SCHED_OTHER pid 591's current scheduling priority: 0

Must be SCHED_RR|SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK?
