Installing Globalmenu in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

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): code.google.com -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 Links: code.google.com
