Thunderbolt#

To connect a laptop with a thunderbolt docking station and use all its features, the thunderbolt docking station must be added as a trusted devoce. Without this, only basic features can be used.

Install the tool bolt: sudo pacman -S bolt

Then list all available devices with boltctl list.

Temporarily Authorizing Devices#

A device can be authorized with boltctl authorize <device id>

Example

boldctl authorize 000b400c-2177-d400-ffff-ffffffffffff

Permanently Authorizing Devices#

Above command is only a temporary authorization and will be lost upon reboot. To permanently authorize a device, it should be enrolled.

Use the boltctl enroll <device id> command to permanently enroll a device.

Example

boltctl enroll 000b400c-2177-d400-ffff-ffffffffffff
