Problem with ISO mounting #3493

Open Frogowitsch opened 2 months ago

Frogowitsch commented 2 months ago

Hi, perhaps someone can help me. This is my problem : I need to install a data cdrom for a program that I use. The programm only accepts CDROMs for updates. No directories or anything else. If I mount a directory to a drive letter, then it does not update, because the disc name is wrong. How can I open a iso and mount it inside bottles ? Im fairly new to linux and would be very happy and thankful if someone has an idea. I searched now for hours and found no solution. The sandbox is very secure, but does it prevent my program from updating ? I'm using ubuntu 22.04 and flatpack bottles. Hope yo can help me Thanks in advance Tom

Hello. I don't know if this will help, but I did this in my Fedora system. Using Flatseal app, I give permission to Bottles to use this folder: /run/media/. Then I mount the iso from my files manager (right clicking the iso file - mount) and the iso is opened in the mentioned path, plus a random name. For example: /run/media/paul/MYCDROM1. Now bottles can access the CD you have mounted!
