GNOME Shell & Mutter 3.34.1 Deliver On Their Prominent Fixes

[GrayShade]

One of the only thing that prevents me from using GNOME on Arch full time is the lack of flicker-free boot, it also requires plymouth-gdm from the AUR which I couldn't get to work.

Once you go flicker-free it's difficult not to go back :P

I've had flicker-free booting on Arch for a long time now with systemd-boot and a couple of kernel command line tweaks (i915.fastboot=1 quiet loglevel=3 or so). No Plymouth needed.

My boot is flicker free since before flicker free was a thing

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/plymouth (use the regular hook)
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/p...arch-logo-new/ (my favorite theme)

lastly

systemctl enable gdm-plymouth

NOTE: don't ever install aur gdm-pkymouth is not needed anymore at all, just plymouth, the regular hook, mkinitcpio, enable gdm-plymouth and restart

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

This will work with the spinner theme that Fedora uses right? It's the default in plymouth.

mmm, haven't tested it to be honest since i love my ArchLinux Logo XD

Also note i'm using systemd-boot not grub and all my systems are non-buggy UEFI, i don't have any pure BIOS anymore so no guarantees there

Hi Michael

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It seems the undirect fullscreen surfaces wasn't merged though.

The gnome shell code for disabling undirecting on transitions is merged: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome...e_requests/721

However the mutter bits for actually enabling it did not make it: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutte...e_requests/798

Would you like a side of fries with that?

LOL! Now I can visit Phoronix forums for my morning memes. :P

Well, I have encrypted /boot and / , dunno if flicker free is useful in that situation.

Cool, I am affected by that problem with Java applications losing focus on Wayland. I'm glad it's finally resolved.
