I do not have access to Ubuntu right now, but a guess is that in the two
cases, the $PATH variable is different so that in one case, the program
specified by g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi is not found while its found in the
other.

In your case, I am pretty sure the following should work:

:let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi =3D '/usr/bin/xdvi'

and then do \lv. If you specify the complete path to your viewer, things
_should_ work.

g:Tex_ViewRuleComplete_dvi is to fix another problem i.e, when your
viewer needs to be called with a custom syntax.

This is a _really_ old version of latex-suite. I would recommend getting
the latest version directly from:
