Bug Description
Some terminal output:
INFO: Creating disk image [/home/
INFO:testdrive.
sh: 1: kvm-img: not found
ERROR: Command failed
`kvm-img create -f qcow2 /home/username/
ERROR:testdrive
`kvm-img create -f qcow2 /home/username/
INFO: Running the Virtual Machine...
INFO:testdrive.
qemu: at most 2047 MB RAM can be simulated
After symlinking /usr/bin/qemu-img to /usr/bin/kvm-img AND selecting other amount of RAM to emulate it works.
Guess it's a misspelling.

Altering the RAM fixes the qemu info message, but kvm-img is the main cause of the problem. This bug report mentions the same workaround: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ testdrive/ +bug/1377487.
