You have two machines. Call the machine running the Lubuntu live system machine A, and the other one machine B. Installing openssh-server on A makes it possible to control A remotely from B. You run a program from B, and it runs on A, but its graphical windows display on B.
If you have been trying to run chromium-browser in a virtual console (no GUI) on A, that completely explains the "cannot open display" error. The purpose of installing openssh-server is to make it possible to run programs on A from B. You must run "ssh -c blowfish -X ubuntu@IP" on B (press Ctrl+Alt+T to open a Terminal window in which to do this), where IP is the ipv4 address of A as determined with the ifconfig command on A. Running ssh on B gives you a console where commands you run are run on A. On B, this will look something like the following (with some details different, most notably that IP will be the actual ipv4 address of A, and peterzay will be your actual username on B, whatever that is): peterzay@B:~$ ssh -c blowfish -X ubuntu@IP The authenticity of host IP (IP) can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is bf:b7:27:49:ef:08:47:ae:91:b1:1d:96:9d:f9:62:02.
