Thunderbolt dock Thinkpad p14s gen1

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a thinkpad dock to use on my thinkpad p14s with two external monitors connected in DisplayPort. I went through ThinkPad docks ArchWiki and Thunderbolt ArchWiki but I quickly encountered an issue.

After I installed bolt, I ran the command boltctl list but the output was empty. I went through many topics covering this issue but none of them helped. Could anyone help to find out what's going on? Thank you!

Here is a couple outputs that might help:

> systemctl status bolt

The output is pretty explicit, but I didn't manage to find how to make force power supported.

Re: Thunderbolt dock Thinkpad p14s gen1

I had problems with my dock if the nvidia module was not loaded (ThinkPad P15 Gen 2i)
