  1. Follow the steps below.

    Just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

    sudo apt-get install dmg2img

    Once installed, run the following command:

    dmg2img <file_name>.dmg

    That will convert the .dmg to ,img file in ISO format. Then just run

    mv <file_name>.img <file_name>.iso

  2. In order to convert the dmg to iso you need:

    1) Convert the dmg to img using dmg2img

    you can install it using: sudo apt-get install dmg2img

    Then (if your dmg is named image.dmg in the current folder):

    dmg2img image.dmg image.img

    2) To mount the img

    mkdir /media/image

    sudo modprobe hfsplus

    sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop image.img /media/image

    3) To burn the files in /media/image coming from the mount to an iso file:

    You may use brasero for that step. You can install it using:

    sudo apt-get install brasero
