Any reason for using Ubuntu 12.04 instead of 14.04?
If you start off by customizing the tutorial on creating a minecraft server on linux with similar parameters to that of your current existing world, then tinkering could be easier. Admittedly I’ve not tried moving from another platform, but customizing the server.properties file and overwriting the world subdirectory would be a first step. There may be obstacle in dealing with the session.lock file in the world subdirectory, and setting the permissions right. But that’s part of the fun. Worst case is you do a reinstall, or restore from a snapshot of your data directory.
