This is a tutorial on how to install Globalmenu in Ubuntu.

Globalmenu is a GNOME Panel application that integrates the menu bars of your programs into the GNOME Panel, rather than the program itself. This is similar to what you see in OS X style Operating Systems.

For Ubuntu Karmic and Lucid, you will need to add these 2 PPAs to your repository (System - Administration -Software Sources).

You can find the PPAs in this link (follow Karmic instructions if you're using 10.04): http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globa...

-You will be prompted to refresh your software sources upon closing your Software Sources window.
-Navigate to your Software Center (Applications - Ubuntu Software Center) and search for "globalmenu"
-Install the "GNOME panel applet of Global Menu" selection.
-Restart your desktop session, add globalmenu to your GNOME Panel and you're done!

-ALTERNATE INSTALL VIA TERMINAL-

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:globalmenu-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-globalmenu
