Fix: Laravel Yajra-Datatables not showing

 If Laravel Yajra-Datatables is not displaying data or not showing as expected, here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue:


1. **Verify Dependencies**:

   - Ensure that you have correctly installed the Yajra-Datatables package via Composer. Run `composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle`.


2. **Check Datatables Configuration**:

   - Make sure you have published the Datatables configuration using `php artisan vendor:publish --tag=datatables`. Review the configuration files under the `config/datatables` directory.


3. **Controller and Model Setup**:

   - Ensure that you have defined the DataTable in your controller and configured the model correctly. The `datatables()` method in the controller should return the DataTable instance.


4. **View Setup**:

   - Check your Blade view file to ensure that you are properly rendering the Datatables view. Use `{!! $dataTable->table() !!}` to render the table.


5. **JavaScript and CSS**:

   - Make sure that you include the required JavaScript and CSS assets for DataTables in your HTML layout. You need to include jQuery, DataTables, and the DataTables CSS.


6. **Ajax Data Source**:

   - Verify that the DataTables configuration specifies the correct route or URL as the data source in your JavaScript code.


7. **Routes Configuration**:

   - Ensure that you have registered the route for the Datatables action. In your `routes/web.php` file, you should have something like: `Route::get('data', 'YourController@anyData')->name('datatables.data');`.


8. **Check the Response**:

   - Use browser developer tools to inspect the network response when the DataTable loads. Ensure that the response contains the expected data in the correct format.


9. **Check for Errors**:

   - Look for any error messages or exceptions in the Laravel logs, and address any issues found.


10. **Server Requirements**:

    - Ensure that your server meets the requirements for Laravel and Yajra-Datatables.


11. **Check Data Availability**:

    - Confirm that there is data available to display in the DataTable. If there is no data in the database or the query used by the DataTable is incorrect, it won't display any data.


12. **Database Connection**:

    - Check your database connection configuration in `config/database.php`. Ensure that the connection details are correct.


13. **Cache Clearing**:

    - Sometimes, issues can be resolved by clearing the Laravel cache with `php artisan cache:clear`.


14. **Frontend Libraries**:

    - Make sure your browser is not blocking JavaScript or any required frontend libraries.


15. **Data Format**:

    - Verify that the data returned from your server complies with the format expected by Yajra-Datatables.


If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and still encounter issues, it may be helpful to review your code and logs more closely to identify the specific problem. Yajra-Datatables is a powerful package, but configuration issues, route mismatches, or data format problems are common causes of it not displaying data as expected.

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
