Gnucash runs better on a Linux system than it does on Windows. My understanding is that it is Linux s/w adapted to run on Windows. So if you want to run Ubuntu ( which is an excellent idea) then run GC natively on that, not under wine. You will be able to install gnucash from the software manager, it will install a 2.x version not 3.x as that has not yet worked its way into the repositories.
For recovering your data boot of a live Ubuntu DVD/USB stick and then you will be able to copy the files off the disc onto another stick or network drive.
