Hellen Chemtai: One week later after the Outreachy internship: Managing Work-Life Balance

Planet Debian [Unofficial] March 13, 2026

Hello world. I have been doing a lot after my internship with Outreachy. We are still working on some tasks :

  1. I am working on running locales for my native language in live images.
  2. I am also working on points to add to talk proposals for a Debian conference.

As I am moving around constantly, there are problems I had encountered when changing my networks. I had to connect my virtual machine to different networks and the network would not reflect within the machine. From terminal I edited the virtual machine XML settings:

su -

// input password

sudo virsh edit <machine_name> #its openqa for me

// Look for the interface within devices and replace this:

<interface type=&aposnetwork&apos>

        <source network=&aposdefault&apos/>

        #some other code in here

 </interface>

// With just this then restart your machine:

<interface type=&aposuser&apos>

    <model type=&aposvirtio&apos/>

</interface>

Hopefully the above will help someone out there. I am still working on a lot of tasks regarding the conference, so much to do and so little time. I am hoping I won’t get any burnout during this period. I won’t be updating much further till the conference. Have a nice time
