Maybe some libre office config file in the user's home folder is now 
owned by root for some reason. To correct that error, the command

sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME

in a terminal should suffice. It makes the user who invokes the command 
the owner of all files in the user's home folder. BTW: There's no need 
to replace $USER or $HOME - you can just copy and paste the command 
above.
