FYI: la commissione sta tirando le somme e ha messo online un form al quale gli operatori di settore possono inviare i loro commenti circa l’utilizzo di software opensource

Buona compilazione!

Quale paese

Veltroni ha detto:

Per questo, chiedo agli italiani, in questi sessanta giorni, di pensare non a quale partito ma a quale Paese

Beh:

E tu? A che paese stai pensando?

Safari on Linux: here we go again…

Monday, February 4th, 2008

After a long time, I finally managed to get Safari working again and steadily. Well, almost. Still something breaks here and there, but definitely usable.

So, to recap:

  • Ensure you got the latest wine installed (wine-0.9.54 here)
  • Download Safari from the Apple website and install it
  • HERE’S THE MISSING STEP: install corefonts then copy the installed TTF files into your $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Programmi/windows/fonts folder (”Programmi” is definitely italian, so translate it)
  • Run Safari with an easy “wine Safari” in the console (I suggest to use the console just to look at what it’s doing and to check if it’s complaining somehow)

Enjoy!

I’ve found the Safari.exe process is not correctly terminated when you close all its windows, so you’ll have to kill it manually. Also, go immediately to youtube (you’ll find the link in the bookmarks bar) and head over to Adobe to install the flash player (or you’ll experience some ugly white boxes while surfing)

And thanks to these guys.
