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.

A package for gnome-shell performance patches: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-performance/

gnome 43 has been moved out of testing.

@bertino I will try adding it in 43.0-1

Could you also add MR !1880 as it seems fitting for this package.

@glorious-yellow Merged recent changes in mr2487 (gnome-42 version of mr1441).

Some changes have recently been made to !1441 that fixes 2 bugs:

  • Crashes in certain cases if an external monitor is plugged/unplugged

  • Displays phantom cursors when moving quickly

@angryfog I tried it before but it didn't play nice with our patches.

Hi, Is there a way to combine this set of patch and mutter-vrr? If yes, how to do it? Thanks you

Is there a way to include mutter rounded patches? Unfamiliar with the process. Edit: there's a gnome extension for rounded corners now: https://github.com/yilozt/rounded-window-corners

@ewout We use a snapshot-ed patch for mr1441 so we're not affected to changes in mr1441 upstream.

I will consider switching to mr2487 when it gets backported updates from mr1441. For now, there's no difference between our predownloaded mr1441.patch and mr2487.
