In Terminal: Just create folder

user

in

~/.config/libreoffice/3/

copy files from

/usr/lib/libreoffice/share

to

~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/

change owner group, and permissions than run libreoffice

Open up a terminal and run the following command:

libreoffice --writer

That way you will get output from the start in your terminal and most likely an error message that gives at least a hint. If you don't see what the problem is right away post the output here.

For other terminal options try "libreoffice --help".

Hi, I know this is an old thread, but I have tried this and I get no error message. The terminal simply moves to a new line when trying to open a .docx file. – Mochan Sep 11 '12 at 12:34
