Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
LibreOffice Base
Start with LibreOffice Base ver. 5.1.6.2
Start LibreOffice Base Create new Database > Finish page opens to save the
file name Click on Save and LibreOffice Base Crashes.
Tried various online suggestions but nothing worked, I now install the
latest LO ver. 5.3.4.2

Check your kernel version and the Ubuntu Launchpad bug report :

and also:

Greetings,
I can confirm this bug on Slackware too, with the 4.4.75 kernel security update. I had a thread going here a few weeks ago asking for help on this problem. My solution was to back out the 4.4.75 kernel upgrade and go back to the 4.4.38 kernel. That fixed my problem.

Greetings,
I got this link from a responder to my LinuxQuestions.org posting about this matter:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/7/3/1010
It appears even Linus Torvalds is not aware of the LO problems with this bug, at least not as of July 3rd. It may be a good thing for people at LO to "enlighten" him.

I've heard that another solution, other than to back up to a previous kernel as I have done, is to switch to 64-bit. This problem allegedly does not affect 64-bit Linux. I am running 32-bit and have no intention of changing at this time.
