    I'm having the same problem, but only with Writer (Calc works fine). Answers below don't fix it, terminal outputs nothing. Jul 18, 2017 at 0:05

From a terminal(Ctrl-Alt-t):

Create a folder called user in ~/.config/libreoffice/3/.

Then, copy files from /usr/lib/libreoffice/share to ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/

Finally, change owner group and permissions, then 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.
