I am installing libguestfs0 and there is a dependencies called lvm2 is required to be configured.

When i run systemctl status lvm2, it showing the service is masked (/dev/null, bad). Hence i try with systemctl unmask lvm2 and systemctl restart lvm2. However it still failed to be started.

Please assist if you have any idea, thanks!

I am running in VM with Ubuntu 18 loaded.

I believe it's normal for the lvm2 service to be masked: it has been replaced by a number of more granular services:

$ systemctl list-units lvm2*
UNIT                 LOAD   ACTIVE SUB       DESCRIPTION
lvm2-lvmetad.service loaded active running   LVM2 metadata daemon
lvm2-monitor.service loaded active exited    Monitoring of LVM2 mirrors, snapshots etc. using dmeventd or progress polling
lvm2-lvmetad.socket  loaded active running   LVM2 metadata daemon socket
lvm2-lvmpolld.socket loaded active listening LVM2 poll daemon socket
