Possibly a libguestfs bug.  What is the full debug output?  What
version of Ubuntu?  What version of libguestfs and how obtained?

14.04, 12.04 and 10.04 all fail with a "Failed to connect to socket 
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused" error (the exact package that 
fails is rsyslog on 10 and 12 and libpam-systemd in 14). 
libguestfs-1.29.29 + supermin 5.1.12 built from source on fedora 21.

Here's a log for a 14.04 guest. The command used was:

$ ./run virt-builder ubuntu-14.04 --update --root-password 
password:changeme --format qcow2 -o /mnt/nfs/ubuntu-10.le04.qcow2

Thanks,
