hmm, spoke too fast. Negative USE flags in profiles package.use works on other |
110 |
computers but mine :-( |
111 |
|
112 |
I have in profiles package.use: |
113 |
app-emulation/qemu usb usbredir vde qemu_user_targets_x86_64 xattr virtfs static-user -alsa -pulseaudio -bluetooth -opengl |
114 |
but on my computer the -USE flags(-alsa -pulseaudio -bluetooth -opengl) have no effect. |
115 |
I have been looking high and low what could case this but no luck, any pointers ? |
