I was also receving this error whilst trying to run LibreOffice 3.4.4 on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot.
I found the solution was to delete the hidden folder ".libreoffice" from the home directory and then restart LibreOffice. I hope it works for other people. -- 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/885077 Title: LibreOffice not starting Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Libre won't start saying that 'The Application cannot be started.
