mutter crash fix lands as 7.2.11-1 kernel rolls out
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
The week's work is a kernel rebase and one GNOME Shell crash fix that matters more than the version bump suggests.
CachyOS Linux 7.2.11-1 CachyOS/linux
Rebased onto Linux 7.2.11 from cachyos-7.2.10-1 and added a linux-7.2.y patch branch, so this release carries a fresh set of upstream network and filesystem backports rather than a single version tag bump.
mutter: fix NULL pending-state dereference in tearing cleanup CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The reported failure is specific: launching Alan Wake 2 through Faugus Launcher or the new Epic Games Launcher crashes GNOME Shell back to GDM on mutter 51.0-2, with the fault inside cleanup of a disconnected Wayland client. The same game launched via Heroic does not trigger it, so affected users have a workaround until the patched build reaches them.
mutter: Fix NULL pending-state dereference in tearing cleanup (#1994) CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The NULL pending-state dereference in mutter's tearing cleanup now has a fix merged into CachyOS-PKGBUILDS, aimed squarely at the Shell crash path above.
scx-scheds: bump to 1.1.4 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
scx-scheds moves to 1.1.4 in both the PKGBUILDS and the Fedora COPR, with the -git variant retagged to match, so sched_ext users on either packaging track get the same version.
noctalia-shell: update to 5.3.0 CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived
The long tail was automated AUR-derived bumps: noctalia-shell 5.3.0, cursor-bin 3.25.6, ungoogled-chromium-bin 155.0.8059.79, sunshine 2026.1015.174736, and chatgpt-desktop-bin 26.1013.31256, plus routine cachyos-handheld 1.4.1-1 and statuspage uptime commits.
