Bug Description

Trying to use testdrive. Installed from ppa.

Starting from menu doesn't work. No window shows up.

Running testdrive from console gives this:
brabadu@brabadu-laptop:~$ testdrive
  1. Ubuntu Desktop (lucid)
  2. Ubuntu Server (lucid)
  3. Ubuntu Alternate (lucid)
  4. Ubuntu DVD (lucid)
  5. Ubuntu Netbook (lucid)
  6. Other (prompt for ISO URL)

Select an ISO to testdrive: 1
ERROR: URL parameter must point to a .iso file

Brief look on command line options couldn't give me any suggestions :)
I'm running Karmic, have VB installed

---------------
testdrive (1.19-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low

  * testdrive:
    - total rewrite in python to make testdrive more translatable
    - some commands are allowed to fail -> run(),
      others are not -> run_or_die()
    - improve file cleanup of vbox empty images
    - fix the vbox running grep
    - LP: #520680, #518762 - fix erroneous iso check
    - LP: #497499 - fix memory override
    - must use full path for python execv()
  * testdriverc: port to python syntax
  * testdrive-select-iso: offer both i386 and amd64 ISO's to amd64 kvm users,
