Yes - have a look at the network-manager-logind.patch that's attached to this bug. That can be applied directly to /etc/init/network- manager.conf, it just adds a pre-start section to the init script.

This API will fail if the systemd-logind service has not been started, since it directly accesses directories in /run/systemd. As far as I can tell, systemd-logind in Utopic is started on-demand (through DBUS service activation). So, there's no guarantee that it has been started at the point during boot when NetworkMonitor is started. I attached a patch to upstart .conf file with one way to fix it -- it contacts the DBUS logind API within pre-start to ensure it has been started. NOTE: you will not see the error in syslog -- NetworkManager logs it to stderr which is /dev/null. If you enable --no-daemon on NetworkManager, the error ("sd_login_monitor_new failed") should get logged to /var/log/upstart/network-manager.log. NOTE: even with this fix, I saw that sd_login_monitor_new failed -- I believe that's a bug in Utopic's systemd (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1400203). I had to patch both to resolve a suspend/resume issue for me.
