I haven't tried to troubleshoot this, but I think the first thing I'd probably try is to see how long sudo systemctl restart systemd-journald.service takes, whether it's specifically blocking at something on boot or whether it always takes a long time to come up.
@tal@lemmy.today great hint, will try this, thanks!
@tal@lemmy.today so I was able to perform the test, and if I restart it manually it is fast (30-34ms), its just while booting where it takes that long
Interesting. I have no input but I'm curious of the cause.
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.
@tal@lemmy.today 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!?
@tal@lemmy.today Did exactly that before posting and posted the output:
systemd-analyze critical-chain systemd-journald.service:
systemd-journald.service +7.853s └─systemd-journald.socket @428ms
