Use "java -version" to check that the java installation is at least Java 7. The latest Jenkins requires at least Java 7.
Check that openjdk or Oracle Java are the java implementations, rather than gcj. Jenkins does not run with gcj as the java implementation. Ubuntu 12.04 is an older Linux release, nearing the end of its vendor provided support life (April 2017 will end support for it). You might perform a test installation on a different computer running a newer Ubuntu version (like 14.04 or 16.04).
