Hi guys,
I have downloaded a software with bin and cue files. I would like to install it. Any advice how to do it with opensuse 11.2 64 bit?
I would like to do it without burning a CD, if possible. Note that I tried with bchunck but I got a ugh file instead of an iso.
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to say more. What software? What is a cue file?
Bin/cue files always come in pairs; bin file is the raw image of a cd, and the cue file specifies the mode in which a cd is written and the number of bytes per sector in the image (bin) file
Use bchunk to convert it to an iso image, than you can burn it under Linux with any CD burning program.
thanks but I tried bchunk. See my first thread
Hmmm … should work.
I assume you took a look at the bchunk man page and use the right syntax (?).
Also I’ve heard that k3b can burn this kind of image too. You have to select the cue file.
Have you tried K3b?
That should work just fine and comes with Opensuse by default. You should be able to click on ‘further actions’ in the main screen and click ‘burn image’. I’m writing this from a windows pc at work so the wording might be a little off but it should be easy enough to find. If you are using Gnome I think brasserio works as well.
This is the syntax:
bchunk file.bin file.cue file
instead of getting an ISO file format, I got a ugh file format!?
can you find out what kind of file it is using the command file ?
So: file <this file>
thanks Dexter and PTA. I tryed somthing. I renamed the file produced by bchunk from ugh format to iso …then did the following:
1- create a directory in /mnt (call it disk)
2- mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/disk
Also are you sure that your bin/cue image contains data ?
If you cannot burn or mount it and see the data on the image, the image is bad.
Bin’s/Cue’s are no problem on linux:
k3B reads and writes them to CD, no matter wheter I select the .bin or the .cue
Amarok reads the .bin’s and shows the content (if music) in my collection.
That’s from testing just now.
