Hello, It seems this bug still has not been removed. I am now encountering it on the newest version of Mint Linux; but since the latter is derived from Ubuntu, I will add some comments here. I have now managed to make a stack trace of the libreoffice call leading to the crash resulting from libreoffice having been called by a nonroot account. bostjanv

A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: libreoffice localc OR lodraw OR libreoffice ETC. You get the following popup: "The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration. " Afterwards, you get the following on the tty: [Java framework] Error in function createSettingsDocument (elements.cxx). javaldx failed! Running as root this doesn't happen. Upgrading to the latest did not help. This same message seems to be plauging people with various different causes. Stupid message. Which central configuration are you trying to access and how. I have no ~/.config/.libreoffice-whatever I do have a ~/.openoffice.org and ~/.openoffice.org2 directories, with correct ownership. dbus is running, though it had problems earlier (but if it wasn't running ubuntu-bug would have died). gnome-settings-daemon has been restarted. I have not intentionally installed any "extensions".
