I tried the Solution here to no avail, using sudo systemctl edit networking.service and adding TimeoutStartSec=10sec. But sudo systemd-analyze blame still puts networking.service at over 5 minutes. I checked the change after boot and the networking.service file still has the timeout in it. Can I just get rid of networking.service altogether since I use ifup?

sudo systemctl status networking.service gives:

This solved the problem.

Opened /etc/init.d/networking and set CONFIGURE_INTERFACES=no
