Newly built Linux box cannot SSH

Fully functional and brand new built VM, Physical server, Container or any boxes with Linux distro, however, SSH is not working.

Newly built Linux boxes with Server OS, the SSH service or remote access to the box won't start functioning even though the server is up and running.
For the SSH to start it needs to have the required SSH keys for the service to start.
The solution is to run this command:
ssh-keygen -A
After typing the command, try systemctl start ssh or systemctl start sahd
Also check the status by:
systemctl status ssh / systemctl status sshd
And also good idea to start SSH once the system is restarted.
Type: systemctl enable ssh / systemctl enable sshd

Once the service or status of the SSH is confirmed running, then the system or device can connect remotely or other devices can connect to the local system as well.

That's it, till next time. Enjoy exploring the Linux World!

Print error 016-799 - Fuji Film Xerox

016-799 Fuji Xerox or Fuji Film print error code. That shows a description error as “Print instruction Fail detected in decomposer.” The error code and error description are alien languages for users and even system administrators who are not familiar with Fuji Xerox error code. The error code is quite simple and easy to fix, if the job print goes to the printer but print out doesn’t come out. So, basically the print job was received by the printer, but the printer just doesn’t know what type of paper or what size to use or which tray to utilize for the print out. In some instances, this is just a paper mismatch but the error description; if using Windows 10 to print does not exactly points to what is the issue. First thing to check, is the paper size selected by the user to print. Example, if the printer configuration is A3 and A4 sizes only. But then the person printing the file accidentally chooses “A4 Cover” then this error 016-799 will occur. ...

WMIC get computer name

WMIC get computer model, manufacturer, computer name and  username. WMIC is a command-line tool and that can generate information about computer model, its manufacturer, its username and other informations depending on the parameters provided.
