Not in Ubuntu but Debian should be very similar and REW installer worked fine for me. There is couple of things what installer needs. First in terminal check that some Java version is installed and in search path:
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_79"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.6) (7u79-2.5.6-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)
Make sure that installer is really executable:
$ chmod a+x REW_linux_5_14.sh
And then start it with sudo (with more rights):
$ sudo ./REW_linux_5_14.sh
That should say something like "Starting installer" and open installer in a new window.

I today installed REW 5.1.6 on Ubuntu 16.10 and Java 1.8.0 (which needs to be installed beforehand).
After downloading the REW installer binary I ran:
Note: The installer is a binary and not a shell script as the ".sh" suggests.
Result: No problems so far.
Basically what m4j4n1 experienced on Debian I can confirm for Ubuntu.
Just to add:
REW will be started by running
Enjoy.
