Menu bars not integrated with Unity's global menu bar

Question

I upgrade from Lucid via update-manager -d and the upgrade went fine. However, I didn't get Unity's global menu. Windows stil have their indivual menu bars.

Screenshot

This happens for all applications.

Does this typically occur? Can this be fixed with a configuration setting?

if this is only for firefox, what addons have you installed? Have you got firefox-global-menu package installed? — fossfreedom, May 07 '12 at 16:39
@fossfreedom This happens for any application and firefox-global-menu version 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is installed. — Jan, May 07 '12 at 18:20

@fossfreedom was on the right track. On my system, the package indicator-appmenu (and ubuntu-desktop) was missing. Installing this package + restart solved the issue.

ubuntu-desktop is just a metapackage which you don't need. – notablytipsy Jul 20 '13 at 12:22

In dconf Editor check for com → canonical → indicator → appmenu → menu-mode = "global":
