SUMMARY

I've just updated to Kubuntu 25.10 and Libreoffice was updated to 25.8.2
Libreoffice fails to start, the icon appears for a few seconds then disappears
I tried by clicking on an odt file then run the program directly. same result
I purged office 25.8.2 and installed office 25.2.6; same result
Libreoffice was working before updating the OS


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure Libreoffice installed
2. Update kubuntu from 25.04 to 25.10
3. run libreoffice

OBSERVED RESULT
program fails to start

running and stable libreoffice

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Andrew Steele 2025-10-30 03:21:53 UTC 
I should have mentioned it works with libreoffice version 4:25.8.1~rc1-0ubuntu as installed by discover
The UI is a mess

You may wish to report this to the kubuntu folks. Not much KDE can do about libreoffice in kubuntu.
