How To Fix Bluetooth in Fedora 15

1) Check Bluetooth Service.

systemctl status bluetooth.service

bluetooth.service – Bluetooth Manager
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service)
Active: inactive (dead)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/bluetooth.service

It shows my bluetooth is inactive (dead).

2) Activate Bluetooth Service.

First priority is to enable the service to be run on every startup, to do this use following command.

systemctl enable bluetooth.service

ln -s ‘/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service’ ‘/etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.bluez.service’
ln -s ‘/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service’ ‘/etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.target.wants/bluetooth.service’

Secondly you need to run the service to have bluetooth working on running system.

systemctl start bluetooth.service

Here you go, all bluetooth devices will be visible and can connected to your newly installed/updated Fedora 15.
