By default loop,nbd,libguestfs injection methods are tried in that order.
You may need to ensure the nbd module is loaded for that method to work.

If you do need the extra capabilities of libguestfs, then...

According to http://packages.ubuntu.com/, there
is a guestmount package available for precise.
However there may be issues with that:

There are also oneric versions available independently:
http://libguestfs.org/download/binaries/ubuntu1004-packages/

For the record, the Fedora and the EPEL (for use with centos etc.)
openstack packages, auto install the libguestfs-mount package.

cheers,
Pádraig.
