If I read this correctly then you have a problem with Ubuntu and not with LFS. If that is the case than you posted in the wrong sub-forum, this would be more suitable in the Ubuntu forum.

About installing LFS: You could (should?) use the CLI (i.e. a terminal) instead of GUI-based programs. You can also use the mouse to copy-paste between terminals.
