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.


Note that a debug option is disabled in this package.

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

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


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

gnome-shell/src/st/meson.build:195:2: ERROR: Dependency "libmutter-test-11" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake

then you might want to do one of these:

0) Unset an env: _enable_check=y

1) Rebuild mutter-performance package with _enable_check=y env.

And try again.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

A package for mutter (compositor) performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mutter-performance/

Warning: Before making a report of something broken, make sure it is not caused by an extension or a custom theme!

I am reporting it as occurring with amdgpu. May or may not be related to using mesa-tkg-git from chaotic-aur.

Same issue as @rori and @kode54 reported. Seems like issue exactly in gnome-shell-performance 1:3.34.3-2 and not in mutter-performance package. Rollback to gnome-shell-performance 1:3.34.3-1 solved issue for me. I also use a nvidia-390xx-dkms package. Probably this happens with nvidia blobs only, i have not tested with nouveau or other related drivers.

I'm experiencing the same problems as kode54. Also somehow the screen lock seems to turn on randomly, and much faster than set.

I don't know if this is related, but with current-as-of-this-post gnome-shell-performance (1:3.34.3-2) and mutter-performance (3.34.3+1+g78a45e181-1), both acquired from chaotic-aur package repository, there seems to be an issue with unlocking the desktop after the screen is locked and goes into DPMS sleep, or locks on its own due to the screen saver.

It will present the lock screen, and I can type my password, but when I press enter on the password, it doesn't dismiss the lock screen. The lock screen stays, and won't go away unless I either press Escape or click the Cancel button. This effectively locks me out of my existing session.

I am not having this problem with the stable gnome-shell and mutter packages. I am also not using any extensions, other than stock ones, and the default Adwaita theme.

Is building broken for someone else? Fails with Python libsass not being found.

Edit: Oops! Nevermind. Turns out I accidentally had PATH problems thanks to pip.

It was coming from a good intention @gedgon, all good :) @Saren OK, nothing on fire though ^^
