This indicates that Burp is running in headless mode. The key indicator is that the message about the proxy, which would normally show in the in-UI alerter, is being printed to the console. Headless mode can be specified with a command line flag. Since you haven't specified this, the likely explanation is that your Java installation doesn't have support for a full Swing UI. You should try and install a full version of Java that includes this.

One more thing: I have dual boot machine having Windows 7 installed which is 64-bit while Ubuntu installed is 32-bit.

Your earlier output indicated that you have a server JVM installed, which probably doesn't include a desktop UI. We would recommend installing the desktop version of Java.
