Copy files on Linux shell that have been modified or added within the last X minutes

Here is a short script that helped me to copy files that have ben modified within the last 60 minutes to a new directory. The script uses a combination of the find and cp commands, it has to be run inside the directory that contains the new files.  In this example, I will copy all files that have been modified within the last 60 minutes from /var/www to the directory /var/newfiles, you can replace the timespan or target directory in the script to match your reqzúirements.
First, enter the /var/www directory which contains the files:

cd /var/www

Then execute this command to find the latest files and copy them to /var/newfiles:

find ./ -type f -mmin -60  -exec cp -pf {} /var/newfiles/ \;

Thunar Dropbox: Enable Dropbox Context Menu on Thunar File Manager

I have written about step-by-step post on how to get Dropbox "Copy Public Link" works on Thunar File Manager. I have found easier way to do that by installing Thunar Dropbox. Thunar Dropbox is a plugin for Thunar file manager which adds Dropbox context-menu.

Unfortunately, the plugin doesn't come with Dropbox itself and there is no PPA or any repository yet. So you have to download and compile it manually to get things done. So, please follow this guide to install Thunar Dropbox on your system. I assume that you have installed and configured Dropbox properly. Grab the ZIP archive of Thunar Dropbox here. Once downloaded, extract the file and open Terminal.

Installing dependencies

• sudo apt-get install libthunarx-2-dev

Now, it's time to compile Thunar Dropbox:

• ./waf configure --prefix=/usr
• ./waf build
• sudo ./waf install

Thunar Dropbox uses Python 2 as its interpreter. So, please make sure to use Python 2 when compiling.

Once installed, login and log out back in order to change to takes effect.

This plugin has been tested on Xubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal and everything looks well :)

If you are using Ubuntu 12.10 with Unity or some other desktop environment, and want to switch to a full desktop experience without installing GNOME Shell Ubuntu GNOME Remix 12.10 , you can just simply install some packages . Using the instructions below, not only will install GNOME Shell but the default settings and applications that you find with Ubuntu GNOME Remix. There are also some optional steps for installing some applications, then it’s up to you to decide whether to opt for the installation or not.

Install GNOME packages necessary

The first thing to do is type in the terminal the following command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-gnome-gnome-default-settings

Now it’s up to you to choose whether you want to GDM or LightDM because during the installation you will be asked if you want to install GDM. In the event that this does not happen, and you want GDM instead of LightDM, you would type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

and select GDM instead of LightDM. At the end of installation just get out of the current session and select from the screen to enter GNOME GNOME Shell, at this point, it will be the version 3.6.1 ! Now the advice is to remove the following metapackage will not involve any system problem:

The package “ubuntu- settings ‘sets different default values of Ubuntu, as the order of the buttons in the window, some plugins Rhythmbox and so on.

Optional: Install the missing packages

Some packages in the repositories of Ubuntu 12.10 are not updated to the latest version 3.6.x. (As you already long ago we described, for example, Nautilus). To overcome this problem, open the terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa: gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get
dist-upgrade

packages that will be upgraded are Aisleriot 3.6.0, Brasero 3.6.0, Nautilus 3.6.1, Totem 3.6.0, Transmission 0.7.1, Transmageddon 12:23 and Sound Juicer 3.5.0 .
Finally, if you like, you can also remove the overlay scrollbars:

sudo apt-get remove overlay-scrollbar *

attention now! If you have any problems with Plymouth try typing the command from the terminal:

sudo update-alternatives - config default.plymouth

and choose ubuntu-gnome, now given a nice:

sudo update-initramfs-u

and everything should be solved!
