I'm using Precise, with GNOME. I've attempted to install some retro,
multi-cd games (KOTOR1) via .ISO images and WINE,
but I can't get the ISO's to mount correctly. First I tried GMountISO, which showed a read-only
warning but worked - until I went to unmount. When the installation program asked for CD 2 I couldn't unmount from the /cdrom
folder because neither GMountISO or umount
from terminal could detect the mount.
After a reboot, I changed to GISOMount (different somehow, I guess?), but when I attempt to mount the ISO I get an error window explaining the syntax of the mount
command and, which is also what I get when I attempt to use mount
from terminal. After checking /media
from terminal on a lark I see the disc mounted there twice over, but umount
won't recognize it, even when I specify the full path sudo umount /media/KOTOR_1.iso
. It cleared up upon reboot.
Can someone please assist?
UPDATE :: Thanks for the quick response. What's weird, is the images are like stuck in limbo... I'll show you:
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media$ ls
cdrom KOTOR_1(0)(vcd) KOTOR_1(vcd)
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media$ cd cdrom
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media/cdrom$ ls
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media/cdrom$ cd ..
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media$ umount KOTOR_1(vcd)
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media$ umount KOTOR_1.ISO
umount: KOTOR_1.ISO is not mounted (according to mtab)
sc@sc-HP-110-3700:/media$ sudo umount -a
