Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 10

dsolve(diff(V(r),r$2)+1/r*diff(V(r),r)=0,V(r), singsol=all)
 
\[ V \left (r \right ) = c_{2} \ln \left (r \right )+c_{1} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.009 (sec). Leaf size: 13

DSolve[D[V[r],{r,2}]+1/r*D[V[r],r]==0,V[r],r,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\[ V(r)\to c_1 \log (r)+c_2 \]
