This bug is still valid in Ubuntu 20.04. The utility creates the loopback device OK, but the mount sometimes works and sometimes silently fails. This utility has no debug or verbosity option, so there's no way for the end user to give useful information about the failure. That's something that could be remedied first if the devs have no idea why it fails.

When I used nemo though or in Nautilus on 'other places' they are shown and are mounted if clicked on manually. syslog shows that udisksd reports the creation of the corresponding loop device. But this just happens silently and nothing is automounted. If the iso image is clicked again, it just creates anothe loopback device to the same image. It might also be a Nautilus problem I guess, depending on which part fails here. I also checked for existing issues here or in gnome-disks upstream, but couldn't find any so maybe it is something about the ubuntu package that could be improved?
