Nothing shows that that is a bug in LibreOffice. Probably something went wrong during Kubuntu installation. Please ask for help on https://ask.libreoffice.org and on https://askubuntu.com/ Best regards. JBF

It really sounds like the OS upgrade messed something up. You also did not mention what is printed out, if you launch from a terminal with `libreoffice`. Usually that is very revealing for any app that refuses to launch.
Reporter privately emailed me (please just use Bugzilla for commenting) that the problem is gone, so let's close.
