Neither can we know by looking at your desktop. You may try to start LibreOffice from command-line to see, if any errors are reported.
.
The basic things to find out are: How do you try to start LibreOffice? Is the method configured right? Is LibreOffice starting and fails? Is LibreOffice running and the Window hidden ? (There were some reports of very tiny windows)
I may have had the same problem. Opening a file from my file manager wouldn’t display anything except for a blinking cursor at the center of my screen. But opening the LibreOffice suite first going to LibreWriter and Open the Document worked as expected.
This occured after my latest system update. I don’t see how this helped since the error persisted after the procedure mentioned below but that is what i did…
I ran
sudo pacman -Runs libreoffice-still
to remove the installed package after checking for conflicting distributions with pacman -Qq | grep “libreoffice” I then cleared my package cache
sudo pacman -Sc
and reinstalled
sudo pacman -S libreoffice-still
