not sure whether it is just a configuration issue in the default installation, but my Mageia Cauldron system doesn't seem to support thunderbolt. gnome's setting for thunderbolt claims no thunderbolt support. (Either not supported or disabled in bios or set to an unsupported security setting in bios.) Tried the same with a Fedora live image, and that has no problem with my system or its bios settings. But just to be sure I set my bios to legacy / no security and still no cigar with Mageia. Since I don't have any actual thunderbolt devices, I can force-init it by # echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/PNP0C14:00/wmi_bus/wmi_bus-PNP0C14:00/*/force_power and that successfully initializes thunderbolt / creates /sys/bus/thunderbolt accordingly, but still same error message in gnome settings... Fedora uses https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/bolt/bolt as their connection/security userspace management tool and doesn't require commandline. So is there something missing in my installation, or is thunderbolt just not supported in Mageia? (at least not with desktop support/you have to do all auth with commandline yourself) For reference: the above was reported to the mageia mailinglist but didn't receive any reply, also not after a poke 11 days after initial poke. https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2018-11/msg00020.html
Should this be assigned to ldetect, or to the kernel, or??? I had never heard of Thunderbolt before /o\

Hi, latest bolt 0.6 is now imported to Cauldron. But for now I don't know if this package should be required by anything!

Thanks! - installing bolt made gnome control center happy and no longer claims that I wouldn't have no thunderbolt hw or wrong bios setting \o/ While I also don't think it should be /required/ by another package, I think gnome-control-center should suggest it/have a soft-dependency on it (that's where the settings are exposed to the user). Or alternatively on gnome-shell, as that's what will show a popup/prompt when a device is plugged in – no difference in result really, as gnome-shell requires gnome-control-center. I don't think KDE/Plasma has UI support yet, so nothing to do there (at least the tickets are still open): * "Thunderbolt 3 Security Plasma Integration" https://phabricator.kde.org/T9012 * "Missing UI for Thunderbolt 3 Security Settings" https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395304
So adding a recommends into gnome-control-center package (like fedora).
Also gnome-shell recommends it.
Closing this bud as Fixed!
