I had a similar problem, to get MC to work I had to install the ppa for Oracle Java 8
Here are the commands you will need to enter into a terminal (ctrl+alt+t)
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
You should be prompted a few times, accept these prompts and agree to Oracle's Java License Agreement
Once you have followed these steps you should be able to right click on minecraft.jar, click on "open with" and select Oracle Java 8 Runtime.
