I have no problem mounting an ISO image as a user: brian@desktop:~/buster-jigdo$ udevil mount debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso Mounted /home/brian/buster-jigdo/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso at /media/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso brian@desktop:~/buster-jigdo$ mount /dev/loop0 on /media/debian-10.2.0-i386-DVD-1.iso type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,uid=1000,gid=1000) I feel I am misunderstanding you. -- Brian.
