The problem is that installing Ubuntu (any version) from ISO is not supported by XenServer. Using the "Other" (not "Other PV") OS Type will allow it, but the result is an HVM mode VM which has disadvantages (poor performance, no XS Tools, no live migration). The supported way to install Ubuntu on XenServer is a network-based installation, but this is not possible to do through CloudStack.
My usual recommendation is to do a supported installation of Ubuntu on a standalone XenServer to get a PV mode VM, export the VHD, and import it as a template to CloudStack. If no XenServer host is unavailable, install one in VirtualBox on a laptop and setup a PV mode Ubuntu VM there. It is possible to convert an HVM mode VM to PV mode, but it is an error prone and time consuming process, so it is usually better to build the in PV mode to begin with.
