I am using Ubuntu 18.04, and trying to moutn Matlab ISO using the following command:
sudo mount R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
But terminal is responding back as:
mount: /mnt/cdrom: failed to setup loop device for R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso.
I am not sure as to what this means and how to take it forward.

Create /mnt/cdrom
directory first:
mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
Afterwards mount the iso-image with absolute image path, for example /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso
instead of just R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso
:
sudo mount -o loop /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom
If the directory /mnt/cdrom
exists, get more info about your iso-image:
file R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso
and try to mount with explicit filesystem type, for example:
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso /mnt/cdrom
Additionally read my answer at Askubuntu, possibly your image has a boot sector, then mount it with offset
option which should be calculated first.
Hi. Thanks for the answer but it is giving me the same error: mount: /mnt/cdrom: failed to setup loop device for R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso.

@SayantanDatta I have edited my answer. You have to add absolute path to image, for example:/home/user/R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso
- not justR2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso

So, I tried doing that and the error still persists -mount: /mnt/cdrom: failed to setup loop device for R2018a_glnxa64_dvd1.iso.
