libreoffice/jammy-updates,jammy-security 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.4 amd64

Why? I apt reinstalled/removed/installed it, but it fails nevertheless.

That error message seem to mean that libreoffice is not installed: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'libreoffice'

I don't really have another idea. What happens if you try to run libreoffice on the machine?

[info-sic]

apt says it is installed and I can start it from the gui/terminal. See my post.
Can the virtual environment somehow be part of the problem?
May the other versions that apt shows be a problem?

[Rafiot]

Right, sorry, I missed that line.

I have pandora running on a machine with the poetry virtual environment so that shouldn't be the issue.

But you're running the services with systemd, right (based on the log paths)? Can you show me the file you're using? Because I'm wondering if it is replacing the PATH variable instead of just adding a directory.

Good god, that did the trick. Obviously my linux-knowlegde is far worse, than I assumed. Thank you for teaching me basic stuff :)
Preview works.
And it is stated right in the sample file m(

Nice! It is a bit tricky, glad you solved it :)
