Fix: CSS in embedded Vaadin applications not working

 If you are experiencing issues with CSS not working in your embedded Vaadin application, there are a few common troubleshooting steps you can take:


1. CSS File Location: Ensure that your CSS file is located in the correct directory and that the path to the CSS file is correct in your Vaadin application. By default, Vaadin looks for CSS files in the "VAADIN" directory within your web application. Make sure your CSS file is located there or in a directory that Vaadin can access.


2. File Name and Extension: Ensure that your CSS file has the correct file name and extension. Vaadin typically expects the CSS file to be named `styles.css`. Also, check for typos in the file name.


3. Define a Theme: In Vaadin, you can define a custom theme for your application. Make sure you have correctly set the theme for your Vaadin UI, and the CSS rules are defined in the appropriate theme folder. The default theme location is under `src/main/webapp/VAADIN/themes`.


4. CSS Class Names: Check that the CSS class names you are using in your Vaadin components match the class names defined in your CSS file. The case-sensitivity of class names matters.


5. Browser Cache: Sometimes, your browser may cache CSS files, causing issues with new styles not being applied. Clear your browser cache or do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5) to ensure you're loading the latest CSS.


6. Debugging: Use browser developer tools to inspect the elements and check which CSS rules are applied. This can help identify if the CSS is not being loaded or if there are CSS specificity conflicts.


7. Exception Handling: Check for any errors or exceptions related to CSS loading in your application logs. This can provide insights into the issue.


8. Vaadin Add-ons: If you're using Vaadin add-ons or extensions, make sure they are compatible with your Vaadin version and that they are not causing conflicts with your CSS.


9. Vaadin Version: Ensure that you are using a compatible version of Vaadin. CSS handling may differ between Vaadin versions, so ensure you are using a version that aligns with your CSS requirements.


If you've gone through these steps and are still experiencing issues with CSS not working in your embedded Vaadin application, please provide more specific details about your setup and any error messages you may be encountering for further assistance.

bad character U+002D '-' in my helm template

 In Helm templates, the hyphen character (`-`) can sometimes be treated as a reserved character, particularly when defining values or labels. To include a hyphen character in a Helm template without issues, you can use one of the following approaches: 1. **Quoting the Hyphen:**    You can enclose the hyphen in double quotes, like this:    ```yaml    key: "-"    ```    This way, Helm will interpret the hyphen as a string rather than an operator. 2. **Using Backticks:**    If you need to use the hyphen within a Go template function or inside backticks, you can escape it with a backslash (`\`), like this:    ```yaml    value: `{{ .Values.someField | printf "%s \\-" }}`    ```    The backslash prevents Helm from interpreting the hyphen as a special character. 3. **Variable Assignment:**    Assign the value to a variable and use it. For example:    ```yaml    {{- $hyphen := "-" }}    key: {{ $hyphen }}    ```    This way, you can use the variable `$hyphen` wher

GitLab pipeline stopped working with invalid yaml error

 When your GitLab pipeline has stopped working with an "invalid YAML" error, it means there's a problem with your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. This could be due to syntax errors, incorrect indentation, or other issues in your pipeline configuration. Here's how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. **Check for Syntax Errors**:    Carefully review your `.gitlab-ci.yml` file for any syntax errors. Common issues include missing colons, indentation problems, or mismatched quotation marks. Use a YAML linter or an online YAML validator to identify and correct syntax errors. 2. **Indentation**:    YAML relies heavily on proper indentation. Make sure that all lines within the same block have consistent indentation (typically using spaces, not tabs). Incorrect indentation can cause YAML parsing errors. 3. **Dashes and Lists**:    Ensure that you use the correct syntax for lists (arrays) in YAML by starting each item with a dash (`-`). Be consistent with your use of dashes throug

How do I add a printer in OpenSUSE which is being shared by a CUPS print server?

 To add a printer in openSUSE that is being shared by a CUPS print server, you can use the following steps: 1. **Ensure CUPS Client is Installed:**    Make sure your openSUSE system has the CUPS client tools installed. You can install them using the following command:    ```bash    sudo zypper install cups-client    ``` 2. **Discover Available Printers:**    Use the `lpinfo` command to discover available printers on your CUPS print server. Replace `cups-server-hostname` with the hostname or IP address of your CUPS server:    ```bash    lpinfo -v -h cups-server-hostname:631    ```    This command should list the printers shared by the CUPS server. 3. **Add a Printer:**    Use the `lpadmin` command to add a printer. Replace `printer-name` with the name of the printer you want to add and `printer-uri` with the URI obtained from the `lpinfo` command:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p printer-name -E -v printer-uri    ```    For example:    ```bash    sudo lpadmin -p MyPrinter -E -v socket://cu
