Apologies for the delay, I updated the bug description with a justification for SRU; let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.
** Description changed: - There is a C API in libsystemd-login for receiving notifications, see - sd_login_monitor_new(3). It is not working in the Utopic version of - systemd, because it attempts to access /run/systemd/machines which does - not exist on utopic. + [Impact] + The systemd login monitoring library (API: sd_login_monitor_new(3)) is not + functional in Utopic. This library is a dependency in NetworkManager, for + tracking user sessions. As a result, my laptop does not reconnect to + the network after a suspend/resume cycle. - I see a patch to fix this in the older, Trusty Tahr version of systemd - (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- - branches/ubuntu/trusty/systemd/trusty/view/head:/debian/patches/login- - monitor-no-machine.patch). The patch isn't in the utopic systemd - (208-8ubuntu8). + There was a patch to fix this in the older, Trusty Tahr version of systemd + (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/systemd/trusty/view/head:/debian/patches/login-monitor-no-machine.patch). + The patch isn't in the utopic systemd (208-8ubuntu8). - I tracked down an issue in NetworkManager which I believe was due to - this issue.
