Import from PDF doesn't work for me, because the Web Browser I use

• Jan 28, 2019 - 03:36

Hi, Gang!!!

I use MuseScore 3.0.1 into UbuntuStudio 18.04.1 LTS (64 bit Linux).

I can not to use the "Import from PDF" option because MuseScore tells me it can not to find the Google-Chrome web browser.

Of course it can not to find it, because I use Mozilla Firefox!!!

BUT... Shouldn't MuseScore have to know that and automatically switch to my web browser???

Or... MuseScore is trying to force me to use Google-Chrome, which I don't want to use???

Blessings and Greetings from Chile!!!

Why should that be relevant to musescore.com? OP uses amenuentry from the MuseScore application (File > Import PDF ...).
To the OP: MuseScore just ask your desktop environment to open a web page. Which browser is chosen depends on the configuration of your desktop env. (mine opens Firefox). You might need to change the DE's setting for 'default program to open URLs' or something similar. You might also try to use 'xdg-settings' (from the xdg-utils package). In a terminal, type 'xdg-settings get default-web-browser' to see your current configuration.

I, sorry if reviving an old post.
This problem still persists in 3.6.2 (Xubuntu 22.04) if using Firefox as default browser
It seems to work if using Chrome instead.
I tried to open Musescore from terminal; when clicking on "Import PDF..." it says:

cannot open path of the current working directory: Permission denied

If I open the software with root permissions, it still doesn't work:

I also tried to pass --no-sandbox as option, but it says it's an unknown option
