I had the same problem with my LibreOffice 4 version. The solution was to reassign the ownership of the directory ".config".
kingpommes@Karlsruhe:~$ sudo chown -hR kingpommes .config My guess is that my userID changed after I reinstalled my ubuntu some time ago. So although I used the same user name "kingpommes" in the new installation, the userID in the probably changed. Anyway, the command I mentioned above solved the access problem of LibreOffice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792947 Title: The application cannot be started.
