Keka is an open-source OS X frontend to the p7zip package, which is able to view and extract ISOs in addition to a myriad of other archive management features.
Hopefully it will be fixed at some point, making future Ubuntu hybrid ISOs compatible with Disk Utility.Īlternative to extract/explore Ubuntu ISOs on OS X: Keka This patch/bug report discusses a problem in the way isohybrid sets GPT UUIDs, causing Disk Utility/OS X to fail to recognize the hybrid filesystem and consequently, failing to mount it. It works by encapsulating the standard ISO9660 CD filesystem within a partition, so that it will work unmodified if written to a USB/hard disk. Ubuntu's hybrid functionality is provided by the isohybrid script in the SysLinux bootloader.
Note that this "hybrid" is different from the OS X/Disk Utility definition of "hybrid", which simply refers to an ISO readable on both Mac (HFS+) and Windows (ISO9660).
Since 11.10, Ubuntu ISOs have been "hybrid", meaning that the ISO can also be written bit-for-bit to a USB device to make it a working Live-USB, without having to use StartUp Disk Creator, UNetBootin, etc. This is due to a bug (of sorts) in the package used to create the Ubuntu ISOs
