Nope, no luck. > Or do 'service bluetooth stop' then 'service > bluetooth start' as root at a console. skipped that since the click-restart hadn't worked > It's a known bug in the bluez > package in the Beta, it's been fixed since then (so 'yum update' should > also get you a bluez that works). Oh, excellent. Did that, had time for a couple of cups of coffee, too :) Bluetooth finds device, etc. That problem is solved. I now realise that there is a residual issue, though: The machine cannot 'browse' the files on the bluetooth device (mobile phone). Nothing seems to happen, a bluetooth activity symbol comes on on the phone, but the file manager doesn't load, and nothing else happens. Surprised, I dropped back to F13 as well, to see whether that could, but F13 also fails to browse the files. So this browse failure is not F14-specific. The hardware on both netbook and phone are ok; Netbook under XPhome sees the phone and can browse files. I'm going to do some more checks. I'm going to check using a USB plug-in BT device (which may use a different driver), and I'm going to check on a different machine, as well, to try to narrow down where the problem shows up. Anything more I find on the 'browsing problem' I'll post in a new thread with a different title since it's a different problem. Adam, thanks again for the pointer, regards, Ron _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce
