Mutter Rounded Gone After updating system #62

Closed TimilsinaBimal closed 2 years ago

TimilsinaBimal commented 2 years ago

Hello, I am using ubuntu 22.04 and installed mutter-rounded as instructed. The rounded corners works perfectly. But when I update my system sudo apt update; sudo apt uprade The official mutter-common package gets installed and the mutter rounded stops working [since there is no mutter rounded, as it is replaced by mutter-common]. Is this common issue or just in my system? How can I fix it? OS; Ubuntu 22.04 with NVIDIA GeForce 940MX

AFAIK, mutter-rounded completely replaces the original mutter, and doesn't provide any indication that it is different to the original. Hence the OS doesn't know that you have mutter-rounded installed and just downloads the original mutter.

To prevent this from happening, execute the following command in your terminal: sudo apt-mark hold mutter This will prevent apt from updating mutter, hence not replacing it. If you want to switch back and want to update mutter again, execute the following command in your terminal: sudo apt-mark unhold mutter

Hope my answer finds you. Good Luck putting up with Ubuntu and its snaps :laughing:
