white global menu

[mk.alien.22]

hi guys, I really need your help: I just transfered to Unity from Gnome, and tried to disable the global menu; after something I uninstalled, I got stuck with a white global menu under the transparent top panel (I made it transparent using compiz), see attachment. Please help me!

Hi, looks like you're pretty new to the forums based on your bean count. The forum is made up entirely of volunteers so unfortunately you don't always get instantaneous advice. The forums support bumping no more than once in a 24-hour period.

I'm afraid that I can't help you with your problem, but I'll see if I can find the manual for unity and post it for you. That may be faster than waiting for a response.

edit: are you running 11.10 Ubuntu or some other flavor?

hi and sorry, I did not know about the bumping rule. I am running 11.10, and I know that the problem is connected with the global menu.

These are good guides, and they're philinux's signatures:

ok this is weird but the transparency option seems to be working only with the global menu... after I enabled it again, everything seems to be normal now. so I guess I will have to deal with it for now.

OK this is officially a bug, because I read the instructions (from the official links that you provided) for removing the global menu, and the result is the same. I edited this just in case if anyone else is having the same problem. oh, and forgot to say THANK YOU !!!

If you don't want that weird white global menu (it's behind your panel by the way) you'll have to uninstall the global menu package.

I did that when I switched to Gnome Shell.
