New 24.04.1 long boottime

[hermann-Josef Beckers]

Hello *,

My new 24.04 (k)ubuntu installation takes up to 4 minutes to boot.
systemd-analyze blame sees systemd-udev-settle.service as the culprit:

2min 1.875s systemd-udev-settle.service
     16.832s logrotate.service
...

"systemctl status systemd-udev-settle.service" shows

"× systemd-udev-settle.service - Wait for udev To Complete Device

      Loaded: loaded

Disabling the lines

# Wait for driver loading to be complete so that graphics work
# (https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1917)
#Wants=systemd-udev-settle.service
#After=systemd-udev-settle.service

in sddm.service makes no difference as systemd-udev-settle.service is
still loaded.

My question: Can I disable/rename/remove systemd-udev-settle.service?

Yours
