HOWTO: Nautilus Script to mount .iso files

[goodtimetribe]

Ok guys. I don't use gnome and I don't use nautilus, and so i don't bother installing zenity... but i do have kdialog installed in kde, so i modified the scripts to work with kubuntu and kde... only i can't get the unmount to work....i've got it started, so i'd appreciate some kind soul to find my error...thanks

here's my working mount.sh

#!/bin/bash
# mount
# script was originally written for gnome and nautilus
# found http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87369&page=3
# modified to support kde/kubuntu by Joshua Kersey / goodtimetribe
 
kdesu /bin/echo "got r00t?"

BASENAME=`basename $1`

sudo mkdir "/media/$BASENAME"

kdialog --title "ISO Mounter" --msgbox "$BASENAME e $1"


if sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 $1 "/media/$BASENAME"
then
if kdialog --title "ISO Mounter" --yesno "$BASENAME Successfully Mounted. Open Volume?"

then
konqueror /media/"$BASENAME" 
fi

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

kdialog  --error "Cannot mount $BASENAME!" --title "ISO Mounter" 

exit 1
fi

Here's my unmount.sh. I didn't think it worked, but I think I found my error. Try it and make any modifications you think necessary.

#!/bin/bash
# unmount
# script was originally written for gnome and nautilus
# found http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=87369&page=3
# modified to support kde/kubuntu by Joshua Kersey / goodtimetribe

kdesu /bin/echo "got r00t?"

BASENAME=`basename $1`

sudo umount "/media/$BASENAME"

sudo rmdir "/media/$BASENAME"

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

exit 0

Thanks this is a great set of scripts

Worked great fir me Now less wasting my blank CD's

gksudo is very distro-independent... NOT.

And next thing is wrong - usage of zenity. Intrusive dialogs... Use libnotify instead.

Greate scripts, but I have one problem I cant unmount them. It says successfully unmounted but the folder is still in the media folder and contains that iso and I cant delete that mounted iso too.

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.

great job man, now it worked for me, great simple script!!!

There is a utility called gISOmount in Synaptic for this. I'm going to try it as soon as my upgrade torrent finishes.

[igpf]

this is great, what a time saver... being a noob and all.
thanks.

Wow, after all of this gISOmount is great. Just install the package and run, I've mounted with it, but I haven't unmounted anything yet. It seems to work very well so far though. I'll post back after I try unmounting and see if there are any problems

[blueyez]

why install gisomount and / or other similar applications ?
just because are ready for you desktop ?

command line is better owns !
