I'm not sure the chmod part is even needed, but yes, the issue is that you're in the wrong directory.

Does Ubuntu not associate JAR files with Java by default? That seems poor.

You need to move into the folder that contains the multibit file, ie downloads folder, before calling commands of the file.

try "cd Downlands/"
only then enter the chmod command

I have this exact same problem.

1) Clean install of Ubuntu 12.04.3

2) Reboot

3) Update Manager - install updates

4) Reboot

5) java -jar multibit-exe.jar

6) Successful

7) chmod +x multibit-0.5.14-linux.jar

Cool Cannot access __ no such file or directory

Did all that.  I copied and pasted the command straight off the website and looked it over.  I even tried switching out some hyphens, dots and spaces just for the hell of it.  I have no clue.

Check the name of the file you have downloaded.
Check especially where you are using dots and hyphens.

When I try the command "chmod +x multibit-0.5.12-linux.jar" it says:
"Cannot acces 'multibit-0-5-12-linux.jar' no such file or directory"

When I try "java -jar multibit-0.5.12-linux.jar" it says:
"Error: unable to access jar file multibit-0-5-12-linux.jar"

This is after downloading java from www.java.com and installing.

FYI I'm using Ubuntu v12.10 (32-bit)

What was the error ?

If you try:
java -jar multibit-0.5.12-linux.jar

What happens?

I followed the linux instructions to install multibit per the help section (https://multibit.org/help.html), but I got an error with this command:  "chmod +x multibit-0.5.12-linux.jar".

I had no problems installing java.
