Public bug reported: I don't have any Thunderbolt devices so I masked the unused the bolt.service. This causes problem with gnome-control-center.
Steps to reproduce: 1) launch gnome-control-center $ gnome-control-center 2) navigate to Thunderbolt section go to Devices, then Thunderbolt and close gnome-control-center 3) mask bold.service $ sudo systemctl stop bolt.service $ sudo systemctl mask bolt.service 4) re-launch gnome-control-center $ gnome-control-center (gnome-control-center:21859): thunderbolt-cc-panel-WARNING **: 14:04:53.423: Could not create client: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.bolt: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.systemd1.UnitMasked: Unit bolt.service is masked.
