testdrive-gtk with option virtualbox fails fails because pae is not enabled

[Rüdiger Kupper]

Running the current cd image of Precise fails, when virtual box is selected as the virtualization engine. The message says, that the virtual CPU does not support pae (physical address extension), but the kernel needs it. This is an option that virtual box supports, but obviously testdrive does not enable it.

Can someone please branch lp:testdrive then test this is fixed by running "quickly run"?

@noskcaj:

 I branch lp:testdrive, add the fix to source code and then install to system on ubuntukylin13.10. It works well with VirtualBox. The bug has been fixed :)

[Jackson Doak (noskcaj)]

yay. We have to wait for 3.25 for it to be "fix released" though
