Mount and Unmout ISO images without burning them

Hi
I’m using Ubuntu 10.04. I tried the Nautilus Scripts method to mount iso files.
Two problems have come up because of this:
a) Iso fies are unable to be mounted. (i.e. it doesn’t work!)
b) My usb flash drive, CD / DVD rom also does not work. An error message “Cannot mount “.
But the icon shows up in the “Places” menu.
Please help. I don’t know how to revert back to the settings before I performed the steps given in the post.

I tried the Nautilus Scripts but it fails to mount the file. Can you tell me why. I am using Ubuntu 10.04

I am now unable to mount anything after doing these steps. It’s obviously my wrongdoing . however I am not alone in this error so that makes me feel a little better. Is there a solution to this problem yet? I’ve been looking at the comments but nothing comes up. Help wanted?

Hi

I’ve modified the scripts so that they work on Ubuntu 11.04. The problem was that the gksudo command will not enable the later sudo commands to work.
I modified the scripts to save the password and provide the password to the sudo commands executed later. Also modified the script to work when executed in a shell and added an option for disabling GUI in the shell as well as an option for opening Nautilus (ASK/YES/NO).

no, i’m wrong)

you must remove quotes from mount, umount, mkdir, rmdir, also use rmdir -rf

but still doesn’t work from gui

Guys.. I’m a noob.. And i need help. I still don’t understand how to change commands for mount & unmount. Can any of u help me?
