I get the problem with system complaining about permissions on .config/libreoffice/4 since latest libreoffice upgrade on ubuntu 17.10. This problem has arrived on 3 installs up to now. Only solution I have found is to add the ppa on libreoffice and upgrade it to the latest libreoffice 6. Then it starts without any problems. Which proves to me that this is NOT a correct error description from libreoffice. The problem is not about permissions at all.
