Description Mika Laitio 2016-12-16 07:46:38 CET

Description of problem:
During the last 2 months the Gnome versions using xorg has failed for me after log-in showing just an blue screen without desktop icons and menus. (Gnome on Xorg and Gnome classic). Gnome on wayland has however worked ok.

Before the latest updates I was also always seeing the same errors than on fedora bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1400182
Major opcode of failed request:  131 (XInputExtension) which caused libgtk to crash. Problem was however on mutter component.

tar.bz2 containing fixes for mutter spec and patches

I picked two patches from fedora's mutter-3.22.2-3.fc25.src.rpm to fix the problems for me. Fedora's source rpm contained also couple of other patches that I did not include to my version as I have not yet had those problems.

Attached is the zip containing the updated mutter.spec, and two new patches that I added to spec file before building the rpm's locally. Changes are made on top of the mutter 3.22.2-1 mageia version.

After installing the rpms produced by this source rpm things were fixed for me and I can login to all 3 different gnome versions on latest cauldron. (gnome on xorg, gnome classic and gnome wayland)

Thanks, confirming to be fixed. Updated to mutter-3.22.2-2.mga6 and gnome worked both on the xorg and wayland versions for me.
