Hello all,

I have an Intel NUC with a Thunderbgolt 3 port on the back. I have connected this to a Sabrent 2 bay NVMe external enclosure. The Sabrent enclosure has two 1TB NVMe drives in it. I have installed bolt and thunderbolt-tools via APT. When running boltctl list I get the following:

root@pve01:~# boltctl list
● Sabrent Dual enclosure
├─ type: peripheral
├─ name: Dual enclosure
├─ vendor: Sabrent
├─ uuid: 0074a94c-bf06-df01-ffff-ffffffffffff

When I run boltctl enroll I get the following:

root@pve01:~# boltctl enroll 0074a94c-bf06-df01-ffff-ffffffffffff
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 was not provided by any .service files
root@pve01:~#


I have no clue why this error is coming up. It looks like the OS sees my external enclosure but I would think I need to authorize/enroll it like I did under Windows. Can someone explain what I might be missing?

Thanks,
Steve
