I have this script, Kai, it works rather well for me.
Mike, a couple things here that confuse me:
1)Kai wanted something that could mount an ISO from the GUI ... I suppose if you create a launcher/icon for this script, that could work. But, then it still requires root rights, correct? (this was something else Kai wanted, was not to require root. IIRC Kai does know something of programming. ;)
Nah, I'm a division manager in charge of programmers.
I know nothing of programming any more. All previous knowledge is being sucked out of my head.
Same difference. ;)
Of course, one could right click on the .iso file and use the open with ... and then invoke the script, but there ought to be a conflict resolving the name due to the extension. I know that I had a reason for forcing ?.iso, but don't off-hand recall what it was.
Not bad. Thanks. I'll download it from your original email and run it. I don't suppose I could have it prompt me for a filename through the GUI?
The script would have to be adjusted to do so, that isn't something that I have looked into. If you do, could you please pass me back the change?
2)Your script looks to be using a variable for the .iso filename (I assume that is what the $ infront of the 1.iso means)? How does that work ... should a user be prompted for the path/filename of the iso? Or is it something like, if you put your iso in the same directory as the script, then it just finds the iso?
Yeah the %1 takes a parameter passed to the script (the first one actually) and assumes that it is the name of the iso file to be mounted less it's extension. This script is actually located in the /usr/bin directory and is invokable by any user on the system (+x has been set). As far as invoking it from the CLI, a path to the file is only required when the script is invoked from a directory other than the one that the .iso is located in, yes it will have to find the .iso.
No biggie. Just wanted something quick and dirty.
I'll give it a try.
I appreciate all the responses. It is nice to see that there is more than one way to tackle this item!
BTW, the /mnt/mountiso directory has to be created prior to using the script, which requires root privileges. I did that so that anyone on the system could actually mount an .iso if they wanted to. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
