You might try creating a new user and seeing if that user can open it,
just to make sure it's not related to settings for existing users.
I would use apt-get to purge the removal of libreoffice, then manually
remove any leftover libreoffice directories I could find, then reinstall
libreoffice.
After that, I'm out of ideas, and like you, would be asking on this list.
