Yum install not recognizing specific version of JDK package on Oracle Linux 7.9

 If `yum install` is not recognizing a specific version of the JDK (Java Development Kit) package on Oracle Linux 7.9, it could be due to various reasons. Here are steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:


1. **Update the YUM Repositories**:

   Make sure your YUM repositories are up to date. Run the following command to refresh the repositories:


   ```bash

   sudo yum clean all

   sudo yum update

   ```


2. **Check Available JDK Versions**:

   Verify which JDK versions are available in the repositories. Use the following command to list the available OpenJDK packages:


   ```bash

   yum list available 'java*'

   ```


   You should see a list of available Java packages.


3. **Specify the Exact Version**:

   When installing a specific version of a package, you can specify the version in the `yum install` command. For example, to install OpenJDK 8:


   ```bash

   sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

   ```


   Ensure that you use the correct package name for the version you want.


4. **Enable Appropriate Repositories**:

   Ensure that you have the appropriate repositories enabled for Oracle Linux. You may need to enable Oracle's own repositories or EPEL repositories, depending on the JDK version you require.


5. **Check Package Naming**:

   The naming of Java packages can vary. Ensure you're using the correct package name for the version you want. Oracle Linux often uses package names like `java-1.x.x-openjdk`.


6. **Use Oracle JDK** (If Required):

   If you specifically need Oracle's JDK (as opposed to OpenJDK), you might need to download it directly from Oracle's website and install it manually. Oracle's JDK is not always available in YUM repositories due to licensing restrictions.


7. **Check Internet Connectivity**:

   Ensure your system has internet connectivity, and there are no firewall or proxy issues that might be preventing YUM from accessing the repositories.


8. **Repository Configuration**:

   Double-check your YUM repository configuration in the `/etc/yum.repos.d/` directory. Make sure there are no errors in the repository files.


9. **Contact Oracle Support**:

   If you are looking for a specific version of Oracle JDK that is not available in the YUM repositories, consider reaching out to Oracle Support for guidance on how to obtain and install that particular version.


10. **Consider Using Alternatives**:

    You can also explore alternatives like AdoptOpenJDK or Azul Zulu if you're flexible with the JDK version and looking for alternatives to Oracle's JDK.


If you are still facing issues, please provide more specific details about the JDK version you are trying to install, any error messages you encounter, or any custom repositories you are using so that I can provide more targeted 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
