using bluetooth fc27


Hi, I have a VM set up using QEMU. It runs fc27 XFCE from a Fedora host. I would like to be able to connect from this VM to a bluetooth speaker. I am assuming this should be as simple as switching on the speaker, establishing a connection, pointing my output towards the speaker and playing sounds! Or am I expecting a bit too much from within a VM?

Firstly though, I can't start bluetoothctl. Again I didn't think this would be a huge task. All I get is
Quote:
[tim@cabra ~]$ sudo systemctl start bluetooth
[tim@cabra ~]$ sudo bluetoothctl
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd...
Is there anything I need to install?
Quote:
[tim@cabra ~]$ sudo dnf install bluez

Package bluez-5.49-3.fc27.x86_64 is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
Regards

Bluetooth through USB? Or how is it connected to the host system?
