HOWTO: Nautilus Script to mount .iso files

[Endolith]

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

command line is better owns !

Because it's simpler and easier to remember than the cryptic command line, of course.

I mounted an iso file using the following command:

 sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/mukul/Desktop/CBTNuggets/CBT1.ISO /mnt/iso/

Now how to unmount it??

[rickatnight11]

sudo umount /mnt/iso

I believe.

[muks]

sudo umount /mnt/iso

I believe.

This didn't work.

[rickatnight11]

Hm, what output did you get?

Thank you for this awesome Script!I can finally Mount without having to extract a ISO! Thanks a LOT.

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

Did some simple deduction of your unmount script and came up with this. It works fine for me, it may help others.
CODE:
Unmount

#!/bin/bash
# unmount

sudo umount /media/*.iso
sudo rmdir /media/*.iso

zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted media"

exit 0

Great script.

The only thing I didn't see was how to add the scripts to nautilus location and make them executable. Noobs such as my self really needs this info.
This is how I did it, I'm not sure if this is the norm but it worked for me.

This created the file:

sudo gedit ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Mount.pl

This made it executable:

sudo chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Mount.pl

This created the file:

sudo gedit ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Unmount.pl

This made it executable:

sudo chmod +x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Unmount.pl

After doing this I was able to use these AWESOME scripts!

I've made one along the same lines, it's a single file solution (no separate mount and unmount, just unmounts anything at the mount point before loading) and it will let you write to the image as well. Also notifies you whether it mounted or not.

I have tried some mount/unmount scripts but get error "Cannot Mount".
