I'll just note for your investigations that this drive: is a temporary file; the real file is '/tmp/.guestfs-1001/root'. This should be mapped to /dev/vdc in the appliance, and it appears to be. It should be an ext2 "naked" filesystem, no partition table, just the straight filesystem in a file. It should contain lots of ordinary-looking Ubuntu files (/bin/ls etc). And crucially it should contain an executable /init script. /init's first line is #!/bin/sh so /bin/sh must also exist in that image (must be executable etc).
