Hi *, I ran into the same problem. The boot time has increased almost by one minute since an upgrade recently.
$ sudo systemd-analyze blame 1min 1.970s networking.service 1.158s systemd-udev-settle.service 1.145s uml-utilities.service 409ms tor.service ... After having a look at the log files I found out that the DHCP client tries to get an address on eth0. But I'm on WLAN (wlan0) and there isn't even a cable plugged in on eth0. As soon as I comment the eth0 lines in /etc/network/interfaces out, the problem is gone. But I guess that's not a proper solution. My /etc/network/interfaces: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp $ systemd sudo systemctl status networking.service networking.service - LSB: Raise network interfaces.

As you can see here, eth0 is down and it should be, since no cable is plugged in. $ ip link show 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether f0:de:f1:90:28:7f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: wlan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 9c:b7:0d:e7:48:1b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 4: wwan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 02:80:37:ec:02:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Just let me know if you want me to do some other tests.
