HOWTO: Nautilus Script to mount .iso files

[engla]

Great script, very useful.

But why pollute your scripts menu, when we can do this context-sensitive?

Put the scripts in a local place, like ~/bin or ~/scripts or wherever you like. Select an iso, choose properties, and look at the Open With.. tab.
Click add, click 'use custom command' and click browse. Select your Mount script, then repeat this with your Unmount script. Now you have in your context menu whenever you select .iso files, an option to mount or unmount!

Nice and useful. Just works.

Thanks

How to mount ISO BIN/CUE IMG/CCD NRG:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=144236

[Nightwish]

No, those are defective
gksu segfaults with -k root, i don't think it needs it anyway. also, it attempted for me to create directories with the full path, which is not what i want. so, here's a quick fix and a cleanup.
Mount:

#!/bin/bash
#
# nautilus-mount-iso

gksudo -k /bin/echo "got r00t?"
BASENAME=`basename "$*"`
sudo mkdir /media/"$BASENAME"
echo $BASENAME

if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$*" /media/"$BASENAME"
then
        if zenity --question --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$BASENAME Successfully Mounted.

        Open Volume?"
        then
                nautilus /media/"$BASENAME" --no-desktop
        fi
        exit 0
else
        sudo rmdir /media/"$BASENAME"
        zenity --error --title "ISO Mounter" --text "Cannot mount $BASENAME!"
        exit 1
fi

Unmount:

#!/bin/bash
#
BASENAME=`basename "$*"`
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo umount /media/"$BASENAME" && zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$BASENAME/" && sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME/"

cleaned up the unmount code, BTW.

Thanks for this.Works well now.
And thanks a lot to the original scripter too of course.

Just wanted to say thanks to the original poster, tried this on iso's and nrg's worked perfect don't have bin/cue's to try.

Well the mount script from Nightwish works but the unmount doesn't

#!/bin/bash
#
BASENAME=`basename "$*"`
foo=`gksudo -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo umount /media/"$BASENAME" && zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$BASENAME/" && sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME/"

Any Idea's or is it something stupid I don't understand which is possible and still trying to grasp the whole permissions thing.

Any Help is always appreciated.

Sidenote:
sudo umount /media/FIREWALL.iso
from the term works fine

Hi at all!

I've patched the iso mounter...now it can mount a file from every position in the home directory and it creates a mount point without the .iso extension.

#!/bin/bash
# mount

gksudo -k /bin/echo "got r00t?"

BASENAME=`basename $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS .iso`

sudo mkdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --info --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$BASENAME e $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"


if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS "/media/$BASENAME"
then
if zenity --question --title "ISO Mounter" --text "$BASENAME Successfully Mounted. Open Volume?"

then
nautilus /media/"$BASENAME" --no-desktop
fi

exit 0
else
sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --error --title "ISO Mounter" --text "Cannot mount $BASENAME!"

exit 1
fi



#!/bin/bash
# unmount

gksudo -k /bin/echo "got r00t?"

BASENAME=`basename $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS .iso`

sudo umount "/media/$BASENAME"

sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME"

zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$BASENAME"

exit 0
