Public bug reported: I uncommented some lines in the testdrive config file to create a six GB disk image that were in there to choose sizes. I also choose lubuntu as a flavor. To reproduce launch testdrive --url http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20141003/utopic-desktop- amd64.iso and then wait for image to download. Then QEMU will start up. It says kvm-img
I expected testdrive to create a virtual disk. Instead test drive launched but got to a screen where there was no disk to create but listed a virtualdisk in the qemu vm with no media. I think the command this supposed to launch might be qemu-create which creates a disk image for a virtaul machine but this might get called by a dependency. The command line output of testdrive is brendanperrine@coolern200refresh:~/.cache/testdrive/iso$ testdrive --url http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20141003/utopic-desktop-amd64.iso INFO: version passed: False INFO: config passed: None INFO: Trying config in /etc/testdriverc INFO: Using configuration in /etc/testdriverc INFO: Trying config in /home/brendanperrine/.testdriverc INFO: Trying config in /home/brendanperrine/.config/testdrive/testdriverc INFO: Using KVM for virtual machine hosting...
