You can take a look at https://www.bitaddress.org/. The site can be downloaded and used offline from their github at https://github.com/pointbiz/bitaddress.org. It can create paper wallets, although they may not look all that great with a vanity address since their paper wallet generator is for new addresses. You would have to use the wallet details tab and print out the qr codes.

Another option is https://bitcoinpaperwallet.com/ and you can download its source code for offline from https://github.com/cantonbecker/bitcoinpaperwallet. This one has the option of creating good looking vanity address paper wallets.

You need Vanitygen to make vanity addresses, to do it on ubuntu you would need to compile and run it, there is a video tutorial of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml2PFw7KiJU but make sure you understand what you're doing before going ahead with it and you can read more about the difficulty and the average time on the link above.

After that just print your keys and address on a piece of paper to make a paper wallet  or use the bitcoinpaperwallet as suggested above. Also, make sure to test the address first offline by importing it into a wallet before sending any bitcoins to it.
