I just found a very simple way to mount ISO images in Ubuntu without having to install any complicated software. A throughout tutorial is provided at Ubuntugeek.com. In fact the tutorial is so good that I felt guilty to copy it over. Sorry. Follow the instructions, you will get it. Below is a brief instruction on how to mount ISO images using scripts. Again, this is totally from Ubuntugeek.com, so make sure you give them some credits. (and yes, I felt guilty for doing this, but I just didn’t want you to stop by for nothing.)
Using Nautilus Scripts
- Download 2 scripts: Mount ISO images and Unmount ISO images.
- Save the files to your Home directory because my codes below will prefer to that directory.
- Open Terminal: Application -> Accessories -> Terminal
- We need to change the permission to use the scripts downloaded above.
Note: substitute your username into “username.” - Now we need to move them to nautilus scripts
sudo chmod +x /home/username/mount.sh
sudo chmod +x /home/username/unmount.sh
sudo mv /home/username/mount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
sudo mv /home/username/unmount.sh ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
Now, every time you right-click, there will be an option named Scripts. You can mount and unmount ISO images by selecting the options.

I have an updated version of this that will mount ISO images (and any other image, such as a floppy/NRG/MDF/etc.) as writeable, and it’s only one script. It also notifies you if the load was successful. It is based on the scripts you have linked to (I believe):
#!/bin/bash
#
for I in `echo $*`
do
filetype=$(file “$I”)
foo=`gksudo -u root -k -m “enter your password for root terminal
access” /bin/echo “got r00t?”`
sudo umount /media/Virtual
sudo mount -v -o rw,loop,uid=$UID $I /media/Virtual && gdialog –title “Mounting Success” –msgbox “File Info: $filetype \n\nFile was mounted successfully:)” 600 400 || gdialog –title “Mounting Failure” –msgbox “File Info: $filetype \n\nFile failed to mount. Please verify file integrity and compatibility.” 600 400
done
done
exit0
You will need to create the directory “/media/Virtual”
