Linux Mount Image File

I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS, how can I mount a .IMG file so I can access the files and folders inside?

Thanks

Try this (from a terminal):

Code:

sudo mount -o loop /path/to/the.img /mount/path

and to unmount:

Code:

sudo umount /mount/path

I haven't installed Ubuntu, just running it, what would be the Ubuntu Desktop path? As that's where my file is

It should be something like /home/your_username/Desktop/your_image_file.img

Or a shorter version

~/Desktop/your_image_file.img

Does Ubuntu automount an iso? Some distro's do.
