Description bascule teller 2021-06-06 05:04:28 CEST

Description of problem:
I can mount the mageia8 install image Mageia-8-all-x86_64.img
using mount -o loop,
I can mount an old dos iso using cdemu as so:
[bascule@mycroft ~]$ cdemu load 0 ~/Desktop/DOS71CD.ISO 
[bascule@mycroft ~]$ 
and it shows up in kplasma disks and devices,

BUT I can't mount the mageia img using cdemu:
[bascule@mycroft ~]$ cdemu load 0 ~/Desktop/Mageia-8-all-x86_64.img
ERROR: Failed to load image: g-io-error-quark: GDBus.Error:net.sf.cdemu.CDEmuDaemon.errorMirage.ParserError: No parser can handle the image file! (36)

How reproducible:
Every time I try to use cdemu to mount the mageia image, or use gcdemu, or try to use kde cdemu manager

Can not confirm this problem. The official Mageia 8 ISOs work well with cdemu, gcdemu and kde-cdemu.

Your image "Mageia-8-all-x86_64.img" seems strange. How did you create this? Did you check the checksums of your ISO? Because the offical images are ISOs and are named like this:
Mageia-8-Live-GNOME-x86_64.iso
Mageia-8-Live-Plasma-x86_64.iso
Mageia-8-Live-Xfce-i586.iso
Mageia-8-Live-Xfce-x86_64.iso
Mageia-8-i586.iso
Mageia-8-x86_64.iso

..and not ***.img

Its an install image from:
....../mageia8/x86_64/install/images/

Can you give a URL for it?

Unsure of the role of Mageia .img files, even more so cdemu (my system is currently crippled, which prevents me finding out), I am CC'ing some peple who might shed some light.

CC: (none) => davidwhodgins, lewyssmith, mageia

Comment 5 Thomas Backlund 2021-06-06 21:31:21 CEST

it's not an iso image...

that's what the netinstall iso's are for...


the img files only works with dd to usb or memory card

Comment 6 bascule teller 2021-06-06 22:01:42 CEST

Ah, my bad.  I thought they were images, and issuing:
cdemu enum-parsers

didn't help because it lists:
PARSER-ISO: ISO Image Parser
    application/x-cd-image: ISO images (*.iso, *.bin, *.img)

:)
epsecially as I have in the past come across .img cd image files.
no-ones fault except my own, mea culpa.
this can of course be closed.

Comment 7 Dave Hodgins 2021-06-06 23:39:50 CEST

Also, it look like the purpose of cdemu is for use with cd/dvd playing software
for videos or music, or writing a new cd/dvd to a pre-allocated file, not for
browsing files in an iso.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, though closing the bug as above.
