Not working on gnome 43 (mutter > 43.0) #15

Closed foer closed 1 year ago

foer commented 1 year ago

The extension stops working after updating mutter to 43.1, with is the most recent Version. With mutter 43.0 there were no issues.

Any logs?

Any logs?

There are no errors in looking glass. Where else can i find log files?

Some more informations:

To clarify: there are no errors while activating and running the extension. But dragging a window and moving it around leads to a "ghosting" effect. Numbers, letters and buttons follows as a shadow. The windows background is solid and not transparent. Sadly it's not visible on a screencast.

I am using manjaro with gnome shell 43.1 and mutter 43.1 in a wayland session.

Weird, i am also running manjaro and just updated a few ours ago. I also noticed an issue with this extension but something completely different.

I tloads fine but the transparency is only shown in a small squares of every corner of the window. The rest is completely opaque but seems a bit blurred. I cant take a screenshot of this but i created this mockup which shows what it looks like:

I am also using Wayland with an AMD GPU (Opensource Drivers).

I am having problems similar to what foer described above. Fully updated EndeavourOS using wayland. Oddly enough, gnome-terminal seems to work just fine, while most others (firefox, nautilus) exhibit the blurry + ghosting behavior.

Let me know if I can do anything else to help.

Hi all! Unfortunately cannot test on wayland right now, but X11 works fine. So it is highly likely an upstream bug (mutter or gnome-shell)

foer commented 1 year ago

So is there anything we can do? For my monitor setup i have to use wayland. I really miss this extension!

foer commented 1 year ago

One remark: I've tested the extension on x11 an can confirm that it's working there

Noobsai commented 1 year ago

Hi all. Fixed in v12!

I found device with the wayland on 43.1. It wasn't a mutter bug, they just added one more level for wayland window compositor: MetaSurfaceContainerActor. This breaks my extension, I didn't expect that changes. Now the algorithm is more stable

Can confirm that the fix is working! Thank you very much!

Another confirmation that the update fixed the issue, and another huge thanks!
