"Unhiding" An Iso File That Is already Mounted?
A fairly esoteric question here. I am having trouble downloading the Percussion library of CineSamples Orchestra Core. I have the other three libraries up and running fine. But this one is 92 GB, and my internet is slow, just basic DSL service. On a good day I may get 10 Mbps (sp?). So, the download keeps failing. however, it did result in a 92 GB iso file in my downloads folder.
I have successfully mounted and unhidden these things before, and installed them to Kontakt. The Factory Library, for example. but this tine, I can't get the commands right, keep getting error messages. So I noticed that on my LXLE Linux drive, it has a disk mounter. I was able to mount the iso with this, and even get the installer rolling. However, it hangs because it needs the "cd", and I assume that is hidden. The commands get it mounted and unhidden, bur the disk mounter just gets it mounted. So, does anyone know if you can run a command to unhide it, while already mounted? Or does the unhiding have to be done with thew mounting command?

But I don't understand what you try to do with mounting them. Can't you just start kontakt and point to the iso file? Because I think that was it what I had to do, once I managed to create that iso. |

I just removed Ubuntu 22 from my C drive and extended the space, so it's back to nearly 1 TB. that should allow me to download it. I kept getting errors that there was not enough space on the C drive for such a large download. I learned from the NI forum that this is because Windows does weird things when downloading. Well, no surprise there...that's why we use Linux. Someday I won't need any windows/Wine stuff. There will be Native Linux options. Or I'll be dead... fortunately, I have enough percussion in Garritan and the KFL. For now, I'm going to put it on hold. Wasted too much time. Maybe later I'll try again.

Edit--Here's a link to several to choose from: https://www.comparitech.com/net-admi...load-managers/ Edit2: It looks like download managers are alive and well! I haven't needed them for a while since I have decent bandwidth, but they are really handy with slower or unstable internet speeds. Your current 92GB ISO is probably corrupted. You may have to download it again. With a download manager, you just start the download and come back and check on it later. It does all of the work for you.

Would you like to share some of your "justifying" work with us [/QUOTE] Maybe someday...but I really just compose for myself. If I like it, it makes me happy. thus justifying my existence. It's like therapy.

The problem is this: If you download it on Windows, you need a 1 TB drive, because of the bogus way windows does downloads. If you do it on Linux, you're still doing it on windows, because you have to use Wine to install and use Native Access. Even if you succeed in downloading it on Linux, you're still faced with the problem of mounting and un-hiding the iso. I did get my C drive (Windows that is) back to 1 TB today. I had Ubuntu on there in a dual-boot, before I finally settled on mint. So, if I feel bold at some point, I may try again. The problem there, however, is that I can not use Mint to work on my music. for three days or so, while the damn download hopefully proceeds. It may not be hopeless, but it's pretty close to pointless. Maybe I'[ll sell the damn thing. I'm not sure CineSamples allows that, in fact I'm pretty sure they don't.

Linvst continues to work fine for me also. and I have been updating wine staging on my Mint drive, and so far no problems. Hopefully that will continue.

I update every time Manjaro offers it, and frequently there will be a new WINE version included. Since switching back to LinVST I haven't had any issues. I'm sure I could eventually sort it out with Yabridge, but I'd rather be playing music than working on my music computer.
