AFAIK, Bolt (https://christian.kellner.me/2017/12/14/introducing-bolt- thunderbolt-3-security-levels-for-gnulinux/) will allow us to provide UI for managing security levels for Thunderbolt connected devices. It uses the Intel provided sysfs devices for configuration. If thunderbolt- tools also uses those devices, then the two should be able to co-exist, but I can see that there might end up being a fight over who owns the settings. From a desktop perspective we want the UI provided by the GNOME Shell extension and Bolt so that users don't have to drop to a command line to configure their devices.
I don't have any suitable hardware to test coexistence of both thunderbolt-tools and Bolt. If the two can coexist, then I would like to use Bolt on the desktop for the ease of use. If not, and if Mario is happy, then just providing thunderbolt-tools will be more appropriate for generic Ubuntu since it will be usable on servers etc. It seems that thunderbolt-tools is more mature. I think we need Mario to make a call on which one we should be using. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1748157 Title: [MIR] thunderbolt-tools To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbolt-tools/+bug/1748157/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
