@iamalsonothere Thanks for opening this issue! JupyterLab Desktop runs inside an environment of its own, so you may need to install xelatex and pandoc inside the terminal inside of JupyterLab Desktop. Are you able to do this? You can find documentation about this process here: https://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html#installing-pandoc

Also, which OS and version are you using, and which version of JupyterLab Desktop are you running?

I cannot do this, there are no package managers available inside a flatpak enviornment

Also, which OS and version are you using, and which version of JupyterLab Desktop are you running?

Arch Linux
JupyterLab Desktop 4.2.5-1 from https://flathub.org/apps/org.jupyter.JupyterLab

I looked at the GitHub org related to this package — https://github.com/flathub/org.jupyter.JupyterLab — and found that its contributors may not be Jupyter contributors. Does this also happen when you install JupyterLab Desktop in another way mentioned in the README?

It does not occur when installed outside of Flatpak, but i made the issue here since the Flathub page links to this repo

Since this issue does not occur when JupyterLab-Desktop is install outside of Flatpak, I think it might be best to report this as an issue in the repository mentioned above https://github.com/flathub/org.jupyter.JupyterLab/issues. As it is not an issue that would likely be addressed from within jupyterlab-desktop, I will go ahead and close this issue here.
