If it says [Connecting to internet] then it is waiting for DNS to resolve
'internet'
Depending on how broken your DNS configuration is you may have to wait a
long time, it uses the glibc getnameinfo function which will perform IPv6
lookups first. The way glibc does it is kind of borken so their may be a
long delay if your DNS is not set properly.
