HOWTO: Nautilus script to mount/unmount .iso files

I recently found a Nautilus shell script on an older post to the forum that could mount .iso files, but it couldn't handle spaces in filenames or mount more than one file at once. After some struggle I've come up with these scripts which handle multiple concurrent mounts and filenames with spaces. You'll want to save these under ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/ and make them executable:

Mount:

File:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/iso-mount.bash

#!/bin/bash
#
for I in "$*"
do
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal
access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo mkdir /media/"$I"
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 "$I" /media/"$I" && nautilus /media/"$I" --no-desktop
done
done
exit0

Unmount:

File:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/iso-umount.bash

#!/bin/bash
#
for I in "$*"
do
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal
access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo umount "$I" && zenity --info --text "Successfully unmounted /media/$I/" && sudo rmdir "/media/$I/"
done
done
exit0

To use either one just right-click on the .iso file and use scripts -> mount.

Notes

NOTE: The ISO file has to be in your home directory for this script to work.

HOWTO: Nautilus script to mount/unmount .iso, .nrg and .bin/.cue files

Below you will find Nautilus scripts that allow you to mount cdrom images in .iso, .nrg or .bin format.

You can mount multiple .iso or .nrg files, and up to 8 .bin files.

A shortcut is placed on your desktop for each mounted image for easy access.

Be sure to complete step 7, otherwise your new Nautilus scripts will not be available for use.

Most of the work was already done by the author of the Mount-ISO service menu for KDE.

1. Add the universe repository: http://easylinux.info/wiki/Ubuntu#How_to_add_extra_repositories

2. In order to mount .bin files, you need to install cdemu.

cdemu requires that you have the correct linux-headers package installed, so open a terminal, and choose the option that corresponds to your system.

Intel Pentium:

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-686 linux-image-686 linux-headers-686 linux-restricted-formats-686

AMD K Series (Duron, Athlon, Sempron):

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-k7 linux-image-k7 linux-headers-k7 linux-restricted-formats-k7

Older legacy PC (Intel Pentium Pro or 486):

Code:

sudo apt-get install linux-386 linux-image-386 linux-headers-386 linux-restricted-formats-386

Reboot to take advantage of the linux-headers, you've just installed.

3. Install cdemu.

Paste the following code into a text file and save the file to your desktop:

File:~/Desktop/install-cdemu.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# cdemu installer

apt-get install build-essential checkinstall automake1.6 libtool gcc-3.4

cd ~/Desktop
wget http://robert.private.outertech.com/virtualcd/cdemu-0.7.tar.bz2
tar xjf ~/Desktop/cdemu-0.7.tar.bz2
cd ~/Desktop/cdemu-0.7
ls -la /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
make
make install

cd ~/Desktop
sudo rm -r cdemu-0.7

modprobe cdemu

Open a terminal:

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
sudo chmod +x install-cdemu.sh
sudo sh install-cdemu.sh

Wait for the installation to finish, then enable the cdemu module:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/modules

Add this line to the end of the /etc/modules file:

Code:

cdemu

Save the file.

4. Mount-CDImage Nautilus script.

Paste the following code into a text editor and save the file under your nautilus-scripts directory:

File:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/mount-cdimage

#!/bin/bash
# Mount ISO NRG BIN/CUE

# Get filename extension and make it lower-case
EXT=`echo $1 | sed -e 's/.*\.//'`
EXT_LOW=`echo $EXT | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`

# Get the filename without the extension
BASE="`echo "$1" | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//'`"

# Mount ISO
if [ $EXT_LOW == "iso" ]; then
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo mkdir /media/"$BASE" &&
sudo mount -o loop,ro,nodev,noexec,nosuid "$1" /media/"$BASE" &&
## Uncomment the next line, if you prefer to have an extra link to the ISO image placed on the desktop.
#ln -s "/media/${BASE}" "/home/$USER/Desktop/${BASE}" &&
gnome-open "/media/${BASE}"
fi

# Mount NRG
if [ $EXT_LOW == "nrg" ]; then
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo mkdir /media/"$BASE" &&
sudo mount -o loop,ro,nodev,noexec,nosuid,307200 "$1" /media/"$BASE" &&
## Uncomment the next line, if you prefer to have an extra link to the NRG image placed on the desktop.
#ln -s "/media/${BASE}" "/home/$USER/Desktop/${BASE}" &&
gnome-open "/media/${BASE}"
fi

# Mount BIN/CUE
if [ $EXT_LOW == "cue" ]; then

# Find a free node to mount
NODE=$((`cdemu -s | cut -f 8 -d " " | grep 0 -n -m 1 | cut -c 1`-2))

if [ $NODE -lt "0" ]; then
zenity --info --text "You can not mount any more BIN/CUE files."
fi

# Node needs to be between 0 and 7
if [ $NODE -ge "0" -a $NODE -le 7 ]; then
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo mkdir -p "/media/${BASE}" &&amp;
cdemu $NODE "$1" &&
sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdemu/${NODE} "/media/${BASE}" &&
ln -s "/media/${BASE}" "/home/$USER/Desktop/${BASE}" &&
gnome-open "/media/${BASE}"
fi

# If directory is empty, then release cdemu
if [ "$(ls -A /media/${BASE})" ]; then
echo
else
cdemu -u $NODE
fi

fi

# If directory is empty, then remove empty directory
if [ "$(ls -A /media/${BASE})" ]; then
echo
else
sudo rmdir /media/"${BASE}"
fi

5. UnMount-CDImage Nautilus script.

Paste the following code into a text editor and save the file under your nautilus-scripts directory:

File:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/unmount-cdimage

#!/bin/bash
# Unmount ISO NRG BIN/CUE

BASE="$1"

# Get filename extension and make it lower-case
# EXT_LOW will be iso, nrg, cue or nonsense
EXT=`echo $1 | sed -e 's/.*\.//'`
EXT_LOW=`echo $EXT | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`

# Isolate the the basename without the extension (in case this is not the case already)
if [ $EXT_LOW == "iso" -o $EXT_LOW == "nrg" -o $EXT_LOW == "cue" -o $EXT_LOW == "volume" ]; then
BASE="`echo "$1" | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//'`"
fi

# Release /dev/cdemu according to whether BIN uses /dev/cdemu0 or /dev/cdemu/0
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
DEV="`mount | grep "$BASE" | cut -f1 -d " "`"

if [ ${DEV##/dev/cdemu/} -ge 0 -a ${DEV##/dev/cdemu/} -le 7 ]; then
cdemu -u ${DEV##/dev/cdemu/}
fi

if [ ${DEV##/dev/cdemu} -ge 0 -a ${DEV##/dev/cdemu} -le 7 ]; then
cdemu -u ${DEV##/dev/cdemu}
fi

# Unmount
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m "enter your password for root terminal access" /bin/echo "got r00t?"`
sudo umount /media/"${BASE}"
sudo rmdir /media/"${BASE}"
sudo rm /home/$USER/Desktop/"${BASE}"

6. Create-CUESheet Nautilus script.

This Nautilus script creates a .cue file from a .bin file, if the .cue is missing. A .cue file is required to mount a .bin file. This only works for basic .bin files. If your .bin file happens to be a multi-track CD image, you will need specialized software to create a more advanced .cue file.

Paste the following code into a text editor, and save the file under your nautilus-scripts directory:

File:~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/create-cuesheet

#!/bin/bash
# Create CUE for BIN

# Isolate the filename without the extension.
BASE=`echo "$1" | sed 's/\.[^.]*$//'`

cat <<> "${BASE}.cue"
FILE "$1" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
  INDEX 01 00:00:00
EOF

7. Open a terminal:

Code:

sudo chmod 700 ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/*

HOWTO: Install LinuxDC++

First off, for those that don't know, LinuxDC++ is a Linux port of the file-sharing program DC++. It uses the DC++ core but with a GTK+ GUI. It has also been called by many other names including: linuxdcpp, ldcpp, dcpp, ldc++, dc++ for linux, wulfor. I'm a developer on LinuxDC++ and thought I'd write up a guide to install LinuxDC++ on Dapper and Edgy. There are a few older guides for Hoary and Breezy, but I've never really liked them since they install unnecessary packages, so I thought I'd write a fresh one for Dapper and Edgy.

First, download the required dependencies:

cvs
scons
build-essential
libgtk2.0-dev
libglade2-dev
zlib1g-dev
libbz2-dev

To do this in one command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install cvs scons build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libglade2-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev

Note: I didn't have this problem, but some people also needed libglitz1-dev in order for pkg-config to detect GTK+ on Dapper. If scons fails when checking for GTK+, run this command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install libglitz1-dev

There are no official releases of the program since it's still in alpha. This means that there exists no official binaries for any distribution. However, to install LinuxDC++ you can download it through CVS. Run these commands in your home directory or somewhere else where you have write access:

Code:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp login
[hit enter when prompted for the password]

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp

Now to install (you can set PREFIX to whatever, but I'd recommend /usr/local):

Code:

cd linuxdcpp
scons release=1 PREFIX=/usr/local
sudo scons install

To run:

Code:

linuxdcpp

Note: Turn off Assistive Technology Support before running LinuxDC++ (System->Preferences->AST). For some reason, it makes ldcpp run very slowly and display a bunch of errors.

When we update the source, you can update your linuxdcpp source and re-run the scons & scons install commands from above to install it again. To update the source:

Code:

cd /path/to/source/dir
cvs update -d

To uninstall LinuxDC++:

Code:

cd /path/to/source/dir
sudo scons -c install

Then you can delete your source directory if you like.
