Hello!
On a new machine of mine I installed LibreOffice 5 and upon start get:
LibreOffice 5.0 - Fatal Error
The application cannot be started.
User installation could not be completed.
Now I already googled and it turns out some people have the same problem and in their home-directory some folders belong to root.
This is not the case with me. All folders belong to the user logged in.
I'm not sure what else could cause this as I use LibreOffice and Arch on all of my machines...

I recently had problems starting libreoffice while using the numix GTK theme. Switching to adwaita or something else solved it. Of course it might fail with other themes than numix too.
I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do. (Gune | Titan A.E.)

Same problem here after running full upgrade yestarday

Same problem after full upgrade, reversed and upgraded by hand, got this advisory note:
> LibreOffice now uses highly experimental gtk3 vcl by default
> on some desktops. To use stable gtk2 vcl uncomment
> it in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.{sh,csh}
Did this, but wouldn't work until rebooted (i.e. logging out wasn't sufficient)

^ that works here
just uncomment the
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
dont add gtk2 to it

Switching from numix to another theme solves the problem in my case, like #2 says.
Edit: with numix theme works fine, with numix-frost-themes don't:
~ $ libreoffice

Doesn't work for me... I'm using plasma, do I need to do something else?
edit, fixed it: I simply deleted the .config-folder of libreoffice (you may want to rename it, I didn't give a fuck, since it was a new install anyway), now it starts and works!

You just need to edit /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.(csh/sh). For me using the gtk theme let it launch with other themes. gtk3 didn't work for it for me.
