thank you barbara - and let me tell you: you are a tech savy person :-)

for people, who want to do it very fast and not so perfect, and are using ubuntu xfce or thunar:
1. i downloaded the linux version of checker and openjdk
2. unzipped the checker files into a folder named ***checker
3. rightclick the LV_Tool.tar and in properties, make it executable
4. with rightclicking the LV_Tool.tar file i choose open with open jdk

...and it runs.
as an explanation: i didn't add it to my menue or apps lists, i did not install it.
i just added the folder in thunar to the file structure overview on the left side of the window to have a shortcut.
it is a click more - but all in all, a very fast and easy to do way to use checker without any danger of making a mistake.

(i don't think, that this way of using checker on linux should be published in our wiki. it is just for people like me, who feel a lack of time or have workflow on their machines, where it suits. i am not tech say and honestly don't know about the pros and cons to this. most steps may be the same as barbara wrote)
cheers
