On searching this, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26356268/call-to-undefined-function-imagecreatefromjpeg-and-gd-enabled

found that we have to install gd library of PHP.

we had installed this already in the server as

sudo apt install php-gd

Now, checked the php version.

php -v
PHP 8.1.31 (cli) (built: Nov 21 2024 13:10:15) (NTS)

installed the gd version for it.

sudo apt install php8.1-gd

and restarted apache

sudo systemctl restart apache2

That’s all.

Now, unpublished the catalog. re-uploaded the cover images and published again.

Now, the thumbnails are generated.

But they are too small.

Nowadays, eventhough I am becoming an avid fan of Emacs editor, sometime I use other editors.

Kate is one of the nice editor, I am using for many years, as KDE is my desktop.

Kate is a simple GUI based text editor, which has very good features. explore its features here – https://kate-editor.org/about-kate/

Few days back, I was explore few huge airflow log files, to find some specific errors. KDE opened the log file automatically in Kate editor.

For my surprise, it opened the huge files with highlighting the error lines.

As I am using CLI editors on local and remote machines most of the times, I have to go through all the lines always. Eyes are trained to skim quickly and find the errors patterns easily. But at this time, the Kate editor, gave color different for all the error messages. The right side small preview window helped to goto next error sections easily.

These may be the default features of other IDEs or modern editors. But, these are new tiny happy inventions for me.

Thanks KDE team and Kate developers for making our life easier and bringing happiness to all.
