Ubuntu is a common variant of Linux, complete with a user-friendly interface and full flexibility in customizing it via the Terminal window. Windows and Linux share the ability to open ISO files, which are similar to DMG files. Though DMG files are commonly associated with Apple’s operating system, Mac, they can be opened in Linux with a few simple steps.

Jul 30, 2018 Same is the situation when you need to convert ISO to bootable USB Media in Ubuntu or Linux Mint. Ubuntu and many major Linux distributions come preloaded with a set of essential utility tools. Ubuntu, a free Linux-based operating system, gives users the flexibility to interact directly with the operating system using Terminal. DMG files are the disc image files most commonly used with the Mac operating system, while ISO files are the most common disc image files used in Linux and Windows. Jul 18, 2012 Convert DMG to CDR or ISO with Disk Utility. It’s important to point out the file extension method typically works fine on a Mac but if you want to use the resulting image to burn a bootable disk, or burn it through Windows or Linux, you’ll probably want to go with the more complete method shown below.

Step 1: Install dmg2img

• Open up your terminal console
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install dmg2img

Step 2: convert the .dmg to .img

Once dmg2img is installed, you will want to change our working directory to the .dmg you want to use. in my case, the image.dmg is on my desktop. ( /home/dan/desktop )

• cd /home/dan/desktop

Once you are succesfully in your working directory, you are now read to convert the .dmg file.

• dmg2img /home/dan/desktop/image.dmg /home/dan/desktop/image.img

NOTE: the second part of the command is a .img at the end.

Step 3: Mount the .img file

Now we are ready to mount the .img file into a new directory

• mkdir /media/image
• sudo modprobe hfsplus
• sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop image.img /media/image

Step 4: Convert the .img to .iso

The image is now mounted. We need to convert it to a .iso file now. Open Brasero, a program native to Ubuntu. It can be found in the “Sound & Video” section under “Applications.” When the window opens, choose “Data Disk” and then “Enable Side Panel.” (if Brasero is not installed, open up the terminal and type the following command: sudo apt-get install brasero )

Convert Iso To Dmg On Windows

Press “Image File” and “Burn.” This takes the IMG file and converts it into an ISO file. Wait for this to finish.

Step 5: Mount the .iso file

Enter the following commands into Terminal, where “image” is the name of the ISO:

• mkdir /media/imageiso
• sudo modprobe hfsplus
• sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop image.iso /media/imageiso

This will successfully mount the .iso file and you can proceed with your installation.
