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…
It is related to the Samsung screen. There‘s a kde bug since Plasma 6.2 where this is happening. Long story short: disable ddc (look up your plasma-powerdevil.service file (mine was in /usr/lib/systemd/user) and add Environment="POWERDEVIL_NO_DDCUTIL=1" to it. Save, restart powerdevil (or reboot) and it shouldn‘t happen anymore.)
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=494522 for reference. Hope it works
