I can confirm that bug for Startcenter, Writer, Calc, Draw, Impress:

Menu Open > [select any *.odt, *.ods, *odg, *.odp]
gives the mentioned error message.

Impossible to open an existing document (ODF).

Currently I see this one as a DUP of Bug 36271.

@reporter:
Please feel free to reopen this Bug if you find evidence that we have an independent issue here.

@Rainer Bielefeld
As I understand Bug 36271 – "LO 3.4 Writer Won't Open",
and now stated in Bug 36271#c11 
[ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36271#c11 ],
these are different issues.

Here we can open the application(s) (Writer etc.).
This issue describes that fileopen is impossible.

Now you've modified the summary of Bug 36271 to "FILEOPEN impossible, General error".
That's a little bit irritating, but it would match the intention of this Bug 36320.
Nevertheless I would prefer to reopen Bug 36320.
But I'll respect your decision.

I agree.  The error messages are the same, but the steps taken to produce the errors are different.
