problem setting DOSBOX X com and lpt on Lubuntu (DOSX)

What exactly are you trying to do? Access USB to serial and USB to parallel adapters via DOSBOX-X?

It's likely you are entering the wrong parameters. COM1 and COM2 don't exist in Linux.

What might exist depends on the kind of serial adapter. Is it a physical adapter? Is it USB to serial adapter?

COM1 would traditionaly be /dev/ttyS0.
USB adapter might have the name similar to /dev/ttyUSB0.
PCI(Ex) to serial adapters would have /dev/ttySx, where x is the number after the builtin serial ports on the motherboard.

Edit:

This means... For USB to serial, you should try something along these lines:

serial1=directserial realport:/dev/ttyUSB0
