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 :
- I am working on running locales for my native language in live images.
- 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
