When I open LibreOffice (Start>LibreOffice), I get the following message with an OK button:
LibreOffice 5.1 Fatal Error
The application cannot be started.
[context=“shared”] caught unexpected
com.sun.star.ucb.InteractiveAugmentedIOException: the name
contained invalid characters
I click the OK button and the dialog window disappears with no LibreOffice opening.
I get this same message if I try to double click a word document.
How can I resolve this?
Thanks
I don’t have an answer, but I’m having the same issue.
My system is Kubuntu 16.10 LTS, with KDE and xFce. This problem started about 10 days ago.
I’ve completely purged LO from my system, did a re-boot, installed LO 5.3 from .debs – still the same message when I attempt to start LO.
The application cannot be started.
[context="shared"] caught unexpected com.sun.star.ucb.InteractiveAugmentedIOException: a folder could not be created
The message suggests that there is a permissions issue, but not enough info in the error message to know what folder is involved.

See if Writer and Calc won't open ("a folder could not be created") helps
Also check if there are any LibreOffice elements running in the background - task manager on Windows and look for soffice, or use ps ax |grep soffice on Linux
No other LO elements running, soffice not showing in processes using System Monitor. Several font folders under usr/share/fonts, so I don’t think that’s the problem with my system. I think that ‘pythonscripts.py’ is the module that generates the error message – but still not enough information to track down the permissions issue. If I try to directly execute ‘oosplash’, I get the same error message as shown in my previous message below.
