Integrate java app installed through flathub to GTK

 If you've installed a Java application through Flathub and want to integrate it with the GTK theme, you'll need to ensure that the application respects GTK theming. GTK theming integration can vary depending on the Java framework the application uses. Here are some general steps to try:


1. **Check GTK Support**:

   First, check whether the Java application you installed through Flathub has native GTK theming support. Not all Java applications fully support GTK theming. Many Java applications use their own cross-platform GUI libraries, which might not integrate well with the native GTK theme.


2. **Install GTK Integration Package**:

   Some Linux distributions offer GTK integration packages that help Java applications look more native. On Debian-based systems (like Ubuntu), you can install the `openjdk-11-jre` package, which includes GTK integration. On other distributions, similar packages might be available.


   ```

   sudo apt install openjdk-11-jre

   ```


3. **Check Java Version**:

   Ensure that your Java version is compatible with GTK theming. You may want to use a recent version of OpenJDK (Java Runtime Environment) as it tends to have better support for GTK theming.


4. **Run the Application**:

   Launch the Java application and see if it respects the GTK theme after making the changes above. If it doesn't, it may require more advanced theming modifications specific to the Java application.


5. **Apply GTK Theming for Java Applications (Advanced)**:

   If the application doesn't respect GTK theming and you want to force GTK theming for Java applications, you can use a tool like `jayatana` or `GTK2_RC_FILES`. Please note that these solutions can be complex and may not work for all Java applications.


   - **jayatana**: This tool bridges Java applications with the GTK theme. You can install it and launch your Java application with it. Note that `jayatana` might not work with all Java applications.


     ```bash

     sudo apt install jayatana

     jayatana

     java -jar /path/to/your/application.jar

     ```


   - **GTK2_RC_FILES**: You can set the `GTK2_RC_FILES` environment variable to a GTK 2 theme configuration file. Create a `.gtkrc-2.0` file with your chosen theme and set the environment variable before running the Java application:


     ```bash

     export GTK2_RC_FILES="/path/to/your/.gtkrc-2.0"

     java -jar /path/to/your/application.jar

     ```


Please keep in mind that forcing GTK theming on Java applications may not always provide a perfect integration, as it depends on how the application is built and its compatibility with GTK theming. Additionally, some newer Java applications may use JavaFX or other GUI libraries, which may not be easily themed using traditional GTK theming methods.

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
