qt error from RStudio Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTSS

Hello,
I've googled for 5 hours and I am unable to fix this issue on my Ubuntu.

I've installed Rstudio and Shiny Server.
I'm unable to knit to pdf even a simple markdown as the following one.


title: "Untitled"
output:
pdf_document: default

This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on

The error is the one below.
I tried all possible solutions I've found so far on internet.
None of them are working .
I can knit to html and/or Word , but when I tried to knit to PDF it fails with this errors.
I'am really desperate not to have found a solution and a reason for this issue.
I've reinstalled allR packages from scratch and try to install all possible missing packages.
Any help is really appreciated.
Best regards,
Giovanni
