Did you try it with it's IP? it sounds like there is no DNS entry for the ubuntu machine.

What is the complete command that you used?

There you go, it tells you right on the screen that traceroute is not installed and it gives you the command to install it. All you need to do is...

sudo apt-get install traceroute
