Bug Description

On a laptop with no network connection or only wifi, the installer takes way too long to start.

Initially I thought it was because the usb port is just usb2, not usb3, but the normal ubuntu installer, with X and everything, is much quicker to start up.

A quick look at the console while nothing was happening showed it was waiting for the network. The output of systemd-analyze blame shows this (picture attached):

2min 96ms systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
   3.908s lxd-containers.service
   3.813s dev-sdb.device
...
and so on.

The clear culprit is that wait-online service.

This is related to bug 1717152 I think, to the extent that one should be probably be marked as a duplicate of the other.
