Today I installed LibreOffice Impress from the AppCentre but the app will not start. The app icon appears in the Dock for 10s and then disappears. I have added the System Log below. My system is up to date via the AppCentre. I am new to Linux and don't know where to start to fix the issue.

Can anyone help?

Installing libreoffice-impress standalone seems to not bring all the required packages for it to look properly (and I suppose work properly as well?):

So I suggest removing LibreOffice Impress, and installing the full LibreOffice bundle.

sudo apt remove --purge libreoffice* -y
sudo apt install libreoffice

After the install is done (it might take a while), starting Impress will show a whole new interface:
