This seems to be a recurring problem. This did not work in an older 4.2x version Ubuntu 14.04 and it was part of my reason to move my DB to Ubuntu 16.04 LO 5.3.3.2 kernel 4.4.0-81. Base was NOT a part of the regular LO install and I had to download it separately. Selecting the report builder design view does nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
