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.

I notice !110 was disabled. Was this because of people using the Yaru gnome shell theme? Yaru used to be buggy with !110, but has updated to accommodate !110, and in fact now is buggy without !110:

https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1466

So if disabling !110 by default was only for the sake of Yaru users, it should now be re-enabled. The Yaru release requiring !110 is 19.10.1, released 11 days ago.

Edit: Actually, the Yaru AUR package maintainer has decided to hold back Yaru to 19.04.3 and not package the newer upstream version for now, presumably until gnome shell 3.34 is in Arch. So probably leave !110 disabled for now after all.

Hi, I'm getting the error

fatal: bad revision '1a3c98bd' ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting... checking dependencies...

when updating to the latest package. Any insight? I've tried clean building already.

I'm currently testing MR 22, 136, and 666.

Will report results after testing is complete.

Edit: currently results in broken animations

@Terence @chrisjbillington That sounds surprisingly like the issue I was having a few releases ago, where "frequent" apps page, the icons would vanish as I moused over them. I was not running any custom themes or sessions, and this was before I had installed any third party Gnome Shell extensions. Fresh Arch install, in fact.

Of course, I have since wiped that drive and replaced it with BitLocker encrypted NTFS storage for my Windows installation, so I won't be much use at future bug testing.

@chrisjbillington it's fine, you were not the only one with the problem and you managed to find the solution yourself ;) The bug you are experiencing should be unrelated to this, I suggest both of you to try to disable !711 in mutter and report back there if it was indeed the issue.

@truongan I am seeing this too. Since 3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-6 was just about trying to fix the invisible-search-results bug, it can probably be reverted.

@Terence apologies for wasting your time. I have reported the bug to Yaru here: https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1434

There could be regression in '3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-6', when multiple window overlap, shell may fail to register a click on which the mouser was hovering, and register a click on the active window instead. Revert to 3.32.2+10+g2483b6038-5 helped
