Since upgrading from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1 my journald.service takes a longtime to boot.
systemd-journald.service takes 7-8 seconds. Even on a freshly installed system.

systemd-analyze:

Startup finished in 9.534s (firmware) + 6.112s (loader) + 3.281s (kernel) + 9.271s (userspace) = 28.200s

systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service:

systemd-journald.service +7.853s └─systemd-journald.socket @428ms

systemd-analyze blame:

7.853s systemd-journald.service 2.152s systemd-modules-load.service 1.147s \x2esnapshots.mount 715ms NetworkManager.service 229ms dev-nvme1n1p2.device

how can I now further troubleshoot and maybe find a solution? has someone experienced same/similar? I can provide further info if needed, would appreciate very much if someone has an idea...

Edit: after working through it I came to the conclusion, that maybe Plasma isn‘t the issue here (since the „error“ happens way before graphical ui shows up), but more kernel related. Trying right now to get an older kernel running to see, if it confirms my assumption, but failed yet to do so…

considers

Might be either blocking waiting for something else to start up or waiting for something like drives to spin up, since I assume that it touches drives.

I bet that systemd has some kind of dependency analysis for time.

looks in man page

Yeah. Maybe try rebooting so that you run into the slow startup again, then running systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service. Looks like that shows how much time is spent showing what other systemd units were being blocked on.

@[email protected] i found today 3-4 other persons having same or similar issues (one on the bugtracker github of systemd and 3 others on the archlinux forums) starting around the same time (in the last 2-3 weeks).

I dont think its Plasma related (which comes in later on boot I think) but maybe Kernel based - since others started having similar issue around the same time?

Might be related to some usb devices, but if i‘m not alone having it!?

@[email protected] Did exactly that before posting and posted the output:
