[xubuntu-users] Cannot Get LibreOffice Running

[JMZ]

Hi John,

Remove ~/.config/libreoffice/*, and then try running a libreoffice app.  
What this does is clear the user cache and, after a restart and first 
use of libreoffice, create a new cache directory.  This should stop the 
"user installation could not be completed" message. You will lose 
preferences, but the new cache will store them after you reset.

Best, Jordan
