Easy mount disc image files (iso, img, bin, mdf, nrg) in Xubuntu

Mounty allows to mount disc image files (iso, img, bin, mdf, nrg) from the system tray.

Mounty running in Xubuntu

Some features:

  • Remember mounted images (if selected the disc images will still be mounted after system restart).
  • Load at startup (works with Xfce session, however the '%U' must be deleted from the command; see this if you need help).
  • Use AppIndicator (if unselected, its behavior changes as follows: left-click opens select image dialog and right-click show the options dialog (open, eject, quit...).

Install

Open a terminal window and run:

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://download.learnfree.eu/repository/skss / #SKSS" && wget http://download.learnfree.eu/repository/skss/repo.pub.asc -q -O- | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mounty -y

    Don't worry, it's not an error. Psyco (http://psyco.sourceforge.net/) is a Python module for improving execution speed. It's no longer maintained.

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
