Just tried to open up Base Database under LibreOffice suite by to my surprise nothing happens. All the other programs (Writer, Calc, Impress, Math) open and work accordingly.

How can I rectify this problem? Thanks in advance.

The welcome screen shows the "Base Database" option but actually Base is not installed by default (See the 14.04 manifest).

Open a Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) to install the missing package, then type:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-base

Now you should be able to open the Base Database application:

    It is so strange and unintuitive that the button is there in the launcher and simply fails silently when pressed instead of throwing some user feedback.

Try resetting LibreOffice.

Open your Terminal and execute this command:

rm -r ~/.config/libreoffice
