After upgrading from Ubuntu 16.04 to the latest Bionic build (as of 10 March 2018), I tried launching Slic3r, and it did run; however, the Plater view shows no boundary for the build plate. I'm attaching a screen shot to show the problem (with a 20mm test cube loaded). The printer I'm using is a delta printer with a round build plate, and its boundaries should be visible in the Plater. Note that the build plate boundary IS shown in the 2D tab, but not in the 3D, Preview, or Layers tabs. This worked fine on the same computers under 16.04. (I've verified this issue on two computers -- a MacBook Air and a Lenovo Ideapad U530.)
Here's some version information, from the Lenovo (but both computers have up-to-date software):
