You have been subscribed to a public bug: Bolt is a new component that is handling the authentification of thunderbolt-3 devices. Without a way to authentificate the devices those can't be used so it's sort of an important hardware enablement type of feature.
The MIR for bolt has been approved as bug #1752056, including a security review. GNOME 3.28 (which is what we have in bionic) already include the UI side for the user prompting, the request is just to install the service by default so things work out of the box. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Fix Committed -- [ffe] Install bolt by default for thunderbolt devices support https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759538 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
