started raise network interfaces - times out

[fossfreedom]

Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 Beta 1 32bit virtualbox install

Test Case AutoResize

choose to encrypt home drive, install all updates and non free codecs for the installation options

On boot (and every subsequent boot) I see in the boot sequence

started raise network interfaces
networking.service

this sits there for 1 minute 30 seconds before resuming.

On login, fired up chromium and connected to google so the networking is ok.

Question - why the 1 minute 30 seconds delay?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am affected by this on Ubuntu MATE 17.10.

systemd-analyze blame shows:

2min 26ms systemd-networkd-wait-online.service

Seriously what the hell.
Holding up boot until the network comes up?

Maybe it makes sense in a server setting, but this should never happen for Desktop versions of Ubuntu.

I'm not certain this is related but I did not experience the delay when using lightdm, but do when using gdm3.

systemd 234-2ubuntu9 -> boot time: 72 sec

Is it normal?

Wild guess: this might be because you have only one network interface that is set to use DHCP but the DHCP server is set not to return any routers. See https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3752 for this type of scenario.
