Help with slow boot and shutdown of 16.04

Hi nony

I have a similar problem that seems to be an upstream problem with systemd.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70593

So I must wait...or not...

For a work-a-round I changed the default start and stop timeout to 10 seconds (default is 90). Located in:

/etc/systemd/system.conf

These two lines now read:

DefaultTimeoutStartSec=10s
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s

This works for me until a fix comes out. A slower computer could require more time.
