Public bug reported:

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.

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).

I tracked down an issue in NetworkManager which I believe was due to
this issue. Attached is a C program to demonstrate.
