I just installed kubuntu 18.04 (minimal install) in a 64bits VM, then installed libreoffice, and all programs in the suite start and work as expected.
The backtrace suggests that the issue has to do with OpenGL initialization. Can you try the instructions at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/OpenGL#Crash_on_program_start to disable hardware acceleration in libreoffice, and report whether this makes the crash go away? ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1768756 Title: Libreoffice 6 does not start on Kubuntu 18.04 (clean install) Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I just did a clean install of Kubuntu 18.04 (the minimal one) and manually installed Libreoffice [1].
