Mount ISO’s easely in gnome – nautilus
Sponsored Link
Firstly create two scripts with mount_iso and unmount_iso
One for mount iso and another one for unmount iso
.ISO Mount Script
Create mount_iso file or download this file from here
vi .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/mount_iso
or
gedit .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/mount_iso
Add the following save and exit
#!/bin/bash
#
gksudo -u root -k /bin/echo "got r00t?"
sudo mkdir /media/"$*"
if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$*" /media/"$*"
then
if zenity --question --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$* Successfully Mounted.
Open Volume?"
then
nautilus /media/"$*" --no-desktop
fi
exit 0
else
sudo rmdir /media/"$*"
zenity --error --title "ISO Mounter" --text "Cannot mount $*!"
exit 1
fi
.ISO UnMount Script
Create unmount_iso file or download this file from here
vi .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/unmount_iso
or
gedit .gnome2/nautilus-scripts/unmount_iso
Add the following save and exit
#!/bin/bash
#
for I in "$*"
do
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal
access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo umount "$I" && zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$I/" && sudo rmdir "/media/$I/"
done
done
exit0
Now change the permissions on the two files
sudo chmod 755 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*_iso
Restart gnome
ctrl+alt+back_space
Select an ISO image, right click and select scripts then select mount_iso
These scripts didn’t work for me at all on Gutsy. But I fixed them.
mount_iso:
#!/bin/bash
for I in “$@”
do
if [ ! -e /media/”${I%.iso}” ]
then gksudo mkdir /media/”${I%.iso}”
fi
if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 “$I” /media/”${I%.iso}”
then
nautilus –no-desktop /media/”${I%.iso}”
exit 0
else
gksudo rmdir /media/”${I%.iso}”
zenity –error –title “ISO Mounter” –text “Cannot mount $I!”
exit 1
fi
done
unmount_iso:
#!/bin/bash
for I in “$@”
do
I=”${I%.volume}”
gksudo umount /media/”$I”
gksudo rmdir /media/”$I”
done
exit 0
I’m using this and can mount/unmount iso image for all user:

thanks Red Five,
do you mind if I update the article to include yours?

I mounted yo’ mama in Linux. It didn’t take no script, just some Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I use gmountiso for mounting iso.
Sure, Nitr8, go ahead.
Also, no need to ctrl-alt-backspace, just kill nautilus and it’ll restart automatically.
How do I create an icon in nautilus an image mounted in /mnt/imageloop ?
I can not move the mount point on /media
Thanks guys. I was searching for a GUI program, but this is just as good, if not better.
Andrea: I’m guessing your trying to make a launcher for the mounted image?
Right-click on your desktop, select ‘Create Launcher’, then add the appropriate information (I believe the command would be “nautilus /mnt/imageloop”, without the quotes.), then click the icon box in the top left and pick an icon.
If not, google around or ask on your distro’s support forums. (ubuntuforums.org for me)
Hi, thanks a lot for the scripts. They work nicely. Great work.
However, there are few little mistakes that are easy to fix: in the second script, there’s one “done” too much and it’s “exit 0” not “exit0”. Then, in both scripts, if you copy directly, the line ends are not correct and the double quotation marks are not the correct ones (do they come from some windows program?).
In my world, nothing is “easy” if it requires to write a script. It doesnt matter how easily understood the script is.
Its “easy” if it requires a right click menu choice.
