After installing via apt, trying to run for the first time on a new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installation with NVDIA-375 drivers, Blender crash suddenly with this crash report:

  • $\begingroup$ I suggest you to install it from the archive (you find them all here download.blender.org/release), as I ususlly do - there you'll find more recent versions. $\endgroup$

For some sort of reason, after the last Ubuntu update and before installing Blender, something was changed in the GPU drivers that made the software to not startup correctly. Restarting the system fixed the problem.
