Where did bluetooth support go in F20?
Under F19, I had a bluetooth icon in the notification area and there was "blueman" to manage bluetooth devices.
Yum tells me blueman has been obsoleted and replaced by BlueZ in F20, but I can't find any menu item related to Bluetooth.
There is a program called "bluetooth-wizard". It sees my Roku box and iPHone but not my Jambox.
This all worked in F19.
Package blueman-1.23-7.fc20.x86_64 is obsoleted by bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 which is already installed
$ rpm -qa |grep blue pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-4.0-9.gitf81e3.fc20.x86_64 bluez-libs-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 bluez-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64 gnome-bluetooth-libs-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 gnome-shell-extension-remove-bluetooth-icon-0.5.1-2.fc20.noarch gnome-bluetooth-3.10.0-1.fc20.x86_64 bluez-cups-5.12-2.fc20.x86_64

I think the problem is in new bluetooth stack, and some of the software is not developed anymore so it doesn't support it.

Sorry for second reply, I was unable to find the text I read today. ... Also here it says http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Release_Notes/sect-Releas... 3.1.6. MATE > you can install and use bluedevil "Because of compatibility issues with the new bluetooth stack, MATE does not include a bluetooth applet by default. Users that need this functionality should install the bluedevil package. "
So this probably works on xfce too.

Well, that really sucks. The bluetooth dongle I bought yesterday that worked just fine doesn't work because Fedora is shipping an incomplete bluetooth stack. I don't seem to see any way to get this to work! BUT, the bluetooth dongle is, in fact, working because I can see *some" bluetooth devices in the house, just not the one I want. And, it won't work with XFCE.
Looking for some hints and help, folks.

This may be DE specific; you might want to check at the official Xfce forum, http://forum.xfce.org/index.php and see what they have to say.

I've got it working now in Gnome, so I'll see if I can adapt the to G3 look and feel and get with the program.

OK, in that case, it's not DE specific. Out of curiosity, did you reboot, or just log out/log in?

Login/logout and later a reboot. I found a bluetooth thing under the Gnome preferences and now I can play from rhythmbox through my Jambox.
