cdmount
I was hoping to know if Ubuntu comes with a standard way of mounting ISOs. I looked around online and found a bunch of scripts that can do it.
This to me seems like core functionality, is it offered by default in Ubuntu. If not where is the best and simplest mounter for ISOs.
I have an option to "Open With..." when I right click on an ISO with an "Archive Mounter".
This executes /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-archive which then mounts the ISO automatically. It's part of gvfs, which is installed by default. I am not sure if Nautilus is set to use it by default. (If someone can clarify in a comment I'll update this)
To set it as an option as a default double click, right click on the ISO, select Properties and navigate to this tab and select the radio button to make use of it:
If it's not available as an option click Add and then select it from the list of applications, then you can go back to the tab and select it as a default action if hat's what you want. If you only use it on occasion having it in the Open With tab will have it show up when you right-click and Open With...
sudo apt-get install curlftpfs
in terminal mount ftp resource:
curlftpfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
or in /etc/fstab:
curlftpfs#ftp.host.com /mnt/host fuse rw,uid=500,user,noauto 0 0

If you prefer to keep it old school, in a terminal:
This, of course, will not allow you to edit the ISO as the other mentioned tools will, but if you just need to quickly get into one and pull a few files from it, works like a charm :-)
