Why would i need to mount an ISO in one click?

Well if you're a lazy ass Linux user like myself, you would do anything possible to save time and continue mastering the art of laziness. Shell scripts are your friend when it comes to perfecting this very art. Why launch terminal every time to mount your ISO images when you can simple right click on them and mount them with a Nautilus context menu.

In this article, we will walk you through adding a simple shell script that will allow you to mount ISO images within Ubuntu Linux with a simple right click.



First, you will need to grab the two scripts. One for mounting, one for un-mounting the ISO images.

Download mount.sh and unmount.sh

Now change the permissions to each file to allow them to be executable:

$ sudo chmod +x mount.sh

$ sudo chmod +x unmount.sh

Move the scripts to the Nautilus script folder:

$ sudo mv mount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

$ sudo mv unmount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/

You should now see a "Scripts" option, along with mount and unmount when you click on an ISO image!
