    You can convert it to iso via nrg2iso

    sudo apt-get install nrg2iso
nrg2iso source.nrg desitination.iso

    or you can try nero for linux

  2. One solution is to convert NRG to ISO using nrg2iso program. Another solution is to mount NRG using acetoneiso2. Both programs are present in repositories.

  4. I have a number of nrg images that I need to either mount in Ubuntu or have mounted by guest machines in Virtualbox.

    Current version of nrg2iso is 4.4 from 2004 and it was not able to convert these images to iso properly - resulting image was either empty or caused Virtualbox to display errors.

    After reviewing different options I installed gCDEmu - the most acclaimed software for mounting CD images. Now I have image mounted and readable.

    Unfortunately Virtualbox is not able to attach guest machine's virtual CD to the virtual one created by CDEmu. Therefore I used Brasero to copy CD to image to create iso file. This way I am able to mount the image directly in Virtualbox.

    As iso format does not have any built-in checks I have also created hash sums of the created file using GtkHash so in future I am sure the file was not changed in any way.

  5. if the message is displayed at the command nrg2iso file.nrg file.iso:

    file.nrg is already an ISO 9660 image [ Aborting conversion ]

    use 

    sudo mount -t iso9660  /mnt

    worked for me
