Material UI table's column width not changing as desired

 When you find that Material-UI Table's column width is not changing as desired in your React.js application, it can be due to a variety of reasons. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and adjust the column widths:


1. **Use `width` Property**: The `TableHead` component allows you to specify the width of columns using the `width` property on the `TableCell` elements inside the `TableRow`. For example:


   ```jsx

   <TableHead>

     <TableRow>

       <TableCell width="100">Column 1</TableCell>

       <TableCell width="200">Column 2</TableCell>

     </TableRow>

   </TableHead>

   ```


2. **Use CSS Styling**: You can adjust column widths using CSS. Add a class or style to the `TableCell` elements and set the `width` property in CSS.


   ```jsx

   <TableCell className="custom-column">Column 1</TableCell>

   ```


   In your CSS:


   ```css

   .custom-column {

     width: 100px; /* Adjust as needed */

   }

   ```


3. **Flex-Based Layout**: Material-UI Table uses a flex-based layout system. You can adjust column widths using the `flex` property. For example:


   ```jsx

   <TableCell style={{ flex: 1 }}>Column 1</TableCell>

   <TableCell style={{ flex: 2 }}>Column 2</TableCell>

   ```


   This will allocate twice as much space to Column 2 as to Column 1.


4. **Use `TableContainer`**: Wrap your `Table` component in a `TableContainer`. This container provides flexibility in managing the table's layout and can help control the column widths.


   ```jsx

   <TableContainer>

     <Table>

       {/* Table content */}

     </Table>

   </TableContainer>

   ```


5. **Cell Content Length**: The content within the cells can affect column width. Ensure that the content within the cells isn't causing them to expand. You can control content overflow with CSS.


6. **Check Parent Containers**: Sometimes, parent containers or CSS styles applied higher up in the component hierarchy can affect the width of the table columns.


7. **Browser Dev Tools**: Use browser developer tools to inspect the rendered table elements and see which CSS rules are being applied. This can help identify what's causing the undesired width.


8. **Material-UI Version**: Make sure you are using a compatible version of Material-UI. Occasionally, issues related to component rendering are addressed in newer versions.


Remember that Material-UI Table uses a flex-based layout system, and adjusting column widths may require a combination of CSS, flex properties, and possibly styling of parent containers. Be sure to adjust widths according to your specific design and content requirements.

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
