    Can't mount an iso file in ubuntu 12.04

    I am trying to mount a 5.8GB .iso file, first I used "gmount" but it gave this error "An error occured In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so"
    Then i tried "Furious iso mount", after mounting the mount point was empty !!
    help please

    What is the command you are using? The following works for me:

    Code:
    sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso  /path/to/mount/point

    It says :

    can't find "directory" in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

    the command :

    sudo mount -o loop /home/khalid/ml2011au.iso /home/khalid/mountPoint

    that what it says now :

    mount: you must specify the filesystem type

    never mind what it said before (i guess i didn't write the command correctly)

    Add -t for type:

    Code:
     sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop /home/khalid/ml2011au.iso /home/khalid/mountPoint
