Why can't I mount the Ubuntu 12.04 installer ISOs in Mac OS X? @EliahKagan I tried what I happened to have available without downloading. Both ubuntu-8.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-10.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso mounted as expected. ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386.iso did not. I got the same error message as for the 12.04 ISOs. |

Why can't I mount the Ubuntu 12.04 installer ISOs in Mac OS X? @EliahKagan The OP appears to be referring to an error message displayed when you attempt to mount any of the 12.04 install ISOs in OS X. I tried mounting validated downloads of ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso and ubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso in OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and verified you do get the error message the OP describes. I also mounted those images with no problems using the Daemon Tools and IsoBuster utilities in Windows 7. It appears to be a problem with how OS X mounts an ISO. But I don't know what it is about the composition of the ISOs which results in this glitch. |
