I investigated this a bit more and it seems the problem is something else.
LibreOffice calls PackageKit via dbus and Ubuntu shows an error message because
it doesn't support the InstallFontconfigResources method:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~aptdaemon-developers/sessioninstaller/main/view/head:/sessioninstaller/core.py#L1134

Ideally this should be fixed in the sessioninstaller, but for now we can at
least work around the problem by not calling that method any longer if we
detect it's broken.

Both of these launchpad bugs are fixed.

Right, if you want system integration you should use the Ubuntu packaged
version. System-integration is a doomed effort with a "generic build" like the
binaries provided by TDF.

The problem with ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already reported in Ubuntu and
temporal workaround provided, however it is not helping with the issue in
Libreoffice. Besides Ubuntu most probably will reject report, because I'm not
using version provided in Ubuntu repositories, but the version from Libreoffice
website.
However, I can try, but I need help with formulation of the problem so that it
is not rejected.

Andis: would you like to create the report against Ubuntu? The original
reporter has not done it for some reason and it would be good to know it
exists, so we can close this.

I have the same problem with Libreoffice and it is appears also in Writer. I
have Ubuntu 16.04.1 64 bit. I installed ttf-mscorefonts-installer. It's a bit
tricky, because the version provided in Ubuntu repositories do not work, but
there are plenty of instructions in the internet, how to deal with that. But
the problem is still there.
I take a look in Advanced configuration of Libreoffice, what kind of fonts are
mentioned in configuration and there are, for instance, Albany fonts, which are
not anymore delivered with Libreoffice and probably some other outdated fonts
not available with Ubuntu or Libreoffice. I don't know if this could be the
reason for error message. But it is really annoying, because it can take up to
few minutes when everything is frozen.

I think you should open a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/

Maybe also try with Ubuntu 16.04 on a test machine that matches the ones in
your classroom.

I Followed the instructions that shows the advice, but I'm in the same
situation.
The document wasn't created with windows and when I try to execute the command:

sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

the system shows the message: "ttf-mscorefonts-installer is already in its most
recent version".

I don't know what to do. Do you need more information?

Thank you.

Does the advice help?
The error is definitely coming from Ubuntu.

My Linux distro is Ubuntu 14.04 and the error happen using an admin
account, but not a root user.

The error always happen with new files the first time you click on "cell
format".

I have 22 computers on my classroom and this error happen in all computers
when into Libreoffice calc somebody click on "cell format".

Thank you for your help. I'm desesperate.

I don’t think that error message comes from LibreOffice, though… 樂

What is your Linux distro? Are you using an admin or standard user account?
Does this error happen with an existing spreadsheet file or with new files as
well?
