Best Daemon Tool for Ubuntu [Jaunty]

[Gias Kay]

Hi,

Just wondering if I can get some names of the best daemon tools for Jaunty in here. So far I've heard of AcetoneISO 2, but I searched it and found some old posts claiming it's not working great under Gnome. So any ideas or suggestions?

gmount-iso is in the repos, works great

AcetoneISO works perfectly and has a lot of features.

mount -o loop <any>.iso /mnt

Tried gmount-iso and worked great. AcetoneISO looks kinda like a bloatware, they advertize their program being able to "download videos from Pornotube!" What the heck would that have anything to do with a daemon tool?

Where do you see that at?

[LookTJ]

they advertize their program being able to "download videos from Pornotube!"They removed that feature according to the changelog.

[binbash]

you do not need any except mount command

[Mistrblank]

mount -o loop <any>.iso /mnt

Will these apps emulate an ISO image as a real cd drive (or they just mount the iso image)? . Daemon tools emulate a real cd drive.

My vote goes for

sudo mount -o loop <isoname> /mnt

[praveesh]

My vote goes for

sudo mount -o loop <isoname> /mnt

That will mount the iso . But the system will not treat it is a real cdrom. I have a number of iso images of Ubuntu in hard drive. But if I want to install softwares from them, using synaptic, I can't . I need to install real cd. That's the problem.

Does the system treat the iso image mounted using acetoneiso as a real cd rom? If not, there is no need of it. Just right click and click on archive mounter. Done

My system recognises it as a cd if I mount it as cdrom0

what tool did you use?

[FuturePilot]

what tool did you use?

Just use the same command above but change the mount point.


sudo mount -o loop <isoname> /media/cdrom0

It will even show up on your desktop as if you had put in an actual CD.

Yes. The system recognized it as a real cdrom. But, in synaptic, when I tried to add cd rom, after showing, "mounting cdrom :" it replied "E: Failed to mount the cdrom" . What can be the reason?

I actually remember something like that happening when I tried a distro upgrade without burning a CD. Is this what you're trying to do?

[praveesh]

Cdemu does the job very will (it's in the ppa. Go to launchpad.net and search for cdemu. ). It really emulates a real physical cd drive. Iam able to mount an Ubuntu iso image and the synaptic recognises it as a real cd and Iam able to install apps from the iso image. No other softwares or scripts or commands are able to do this. Others might be able to mount the cd (and may be in the /cdrom itself) but the synaptic doesn't recognise it as a real cd rom. More over, there is an applet for the Gnome panel which helps in mounting cds(much similar to the daemon tools). It is the perfect replacement of the daemon tools.

With cdemu, it is possible to upgrade distro without the need of burning a cd
