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.

Please update to use PR 2487 instead, per Van Vugt's recommendation here.

I presume Van Vugt is going to update 1441 to work with 43.alpha the coming weeks.

@glorious-yellow I will check that mr time to time if there's an update there. Currently, as far as I know, there's no such big changes between our patch and that mr.

!1441 on GNOME 42 has been moved:

@kal I can't confirm intel but I think it does improve performance on X11/Nvidia.

kal commented on 2022-05-21 22:33 (UTC)

Does this patch still work on X11/Intel ? For me, on Wayland - silky smooth but X11 is stuttery :-(

Thanks in advance!

@allexj It depends on performance of your machine.

This package does not help fixing the animation lag (reported here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/3760 )

saltyming commented on 2022-05-04 07:50 (UTC)

@gandalfmagic Done.

Hi, this update (42.0+r93+g5e5480e62-1) breaks the mouse cursor on some configurations (mostly nvidia with wayland gbm it seems).

Here is the issue on the bug-tracker: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/2250

This MR should solve the problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2397

Thank you
