Please note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

To disable building the docs package, set an env: _disable_docs=y

To enable the check() process, set an env: _enable_check=y


If the building process is getting failed on check() like

83/114 mutter:core+mutter/backends/native / native-unit TIMEOUT 180.01s killed by signal 15 SIGTERM

then you might want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Kill your pipewire session manager; killall $(pacman -Qq pipewire-session-manager).

2) Reboot the machine.

3) Pass a variable --nocheck to makepkg (which can be passed along with --mflags first if you are using paru) to temporarily disable a check() process.

4) Add a line options=(!check) to the package's PKGBUILD file to disable a check() process.

And try again.

@NettoHikari or anyone unable to compile with the following error:

lto1: internal compiler error: bytecode stream: expected tag identifier_node instead of LTO_UNKNOWN

You need to rebuild sysprof and then try again.

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.

Hi Saren, thanks for your work. Side note: glorious-yellow is right.

I've just installed this patched mutter and i'm impressed. i can see animation that i've never seen!! (nvidia blob here) I was not aware that option buttons had a transition animation...

a curiosity: i've noticed a new little gap in shell theme (all themes, standard included) in the right upper corner. a screenshot: https://paste.pics/3WDN7

Is this for me only?

edit: wording

For "Geometric (GPU-less) picking", you can replace git cherry-pick with git merge vanvugt/geometric-picking; this will work even if the commit hashes have changed.

@Saren I'd rather prefer you pin the comment explaining about the bad revision issue, so everyone can see it and know how to fix it. I do appreciate the fast updates on mutter.

Saren commented on 2018-10-13 06:08 (UTC)

@ValentinRO See my comment below. I am considering disabling that patch until the commit hashes are stable.

Unfortunately I got a fatal error: fatal: bad revision 'ac031043'.

Is there any info needed to find a solution for this?

Saren commented on 2018-10-11 02:58 (UTC)

@Snuggle the commit "Geometric (GPU-less) picking" hashes are ever changing recently due the git rebases. If the package is not updated, edit PKGBUILD, replaced that 2 commit hashes to what you found in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/189/commits

I'm getting: fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32'

@bobekmark that's weird, I installed it last night and after a reset, it kept working as expected for hours until I turned off my laptop, are you sure is related to this mutter package? Anyway, why don't you rollback to a previous version, don't you handle AUR packages on your own? If you don't and your tool doesn't allow you to do that, it's not AUR fault :)

@bobekmark: you might want to edit the PKGBUILD and comment some commits to figure out what produces this issue and then report it to its related.

@Terence Hmmm, interenting, now it's install itself, but when I reboot my pc, it has only black screen with an X. (CTRL+ALT+F2 , than install "stock" mutter is can solve the problem, but I can't boot my PC with This AUR :\ )
