Update for (and a note to ): RAPTOR — the flowchart-based teaching tool — originally ran only on Windows but there is now an official Avalonia (multiplatform) edition with Linux builds. The Avalonia build is focused on the “Intermediate” feature set (subcharts/procedures) and omits the Windows-only OO mode; it also requires a recent .NET runtime and a couple of native libraries on Linux. See the official RAPTOR downloads and notes. (raptor.martincarlisle.com)

Quick, practical way to run RAPTOR on Xubuntu (tested approach used by many Linux users): install the Microsoft .NET runtime 8.0, install libgdiplus and libc6-dev from your distro, download the RAPTOR Avalonia ZIP, unzip it and run the supplied assembly with dotnet. Example commands (adjust for your Ubuntu/Xubuntu release): 

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-suggests dotnet-runtime-8.0
sudo apt install -y libgdiplus libc6-dev
unzip raptor-avalonia-linux.zip -d raptor
cd raptor
dotnet raptor.dll

Follow the platform notes on installing .NET for Ubuntu if your release needs extra steps. (learn.microsoft.com)

If you want a faster route for drawing flowcharts without the runtime work, LibreOffice Draw will do flowcharts well: pull out the Flowchart sub‑toolbar, use the Flowchart shapes and the Connector tool (not plain lines) so links stay attached when you move shapes, double‑click shapes to add text, and use grid/snap/alignment to tidy the diagram. A short hands‑on script walks through these steps. (script.spoken-tutorial.org)

If RAPTOR’s Linux build or .NET dependency is too heavy, browser/desktop alternatives include diagrams.net (draw.io) for general flowcharting and FlowRun for runnable, educational flowcharts; Flowgorithm is another Windows-focused educational flowchart interpreter (runs under Wine if needed). Pick the tool that matches whether you need a runnable interpreter (RAPTOR/FlowRun) or just diagramming (diagrams.net). (ac.draw.io)

Notes: back up any old RAPTOR files before opening in the new Avalonia build — the official site warns about an older binary format and recommends migrating to the XML/.rap format. (raptor.martincarlisle.com)

You could try yEd, Dia, or .

Dia and Libreoffice are available in the latest ubuntu repositories.

I don't want Drawing Software. What i want is a flowchart designing software for linux-XUBUNTU. Plzzz check it out and say me.....

Some drawing software can make flowcharts. Did you look at any of the software I posted? I tried yEd, and it seemed the most particularly designed for making flowcharts of the three.

You can't expect someone to give you exactly what you need without doing any work yourself. I assume from your response that you did not even take 10 minutes to play with the three programs I mentioned. Try them out.

Here is i have one doubt. How to use LibreOffice Draw.
To Draw flowcharts

LibreOffice came from OpenOffice.org, so they are nearly identical. You can follow OpenOffice.org Draw tutorials such as this one to get started: . If you need more help, look for other tutorials for OpenOffice.org Draw.
