Are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit machine? I would advise you to remove all the globalmenu related files that you have installed previously before you attempt again the method for your machine.
To remove the files, you can type the following command in your terminal:
sudo apt-get autoremove gnome2-globalmenu
sudo apt-get autoremove gnome-globalmenu

Hi,
The code above worked out excellent, apart from the very end.
I tried installing splashy but when i type "sudo splashy_config –i ~/osx-splash.tar.gz" I get the following error:
Splashy ERROR: Cannot read XML File <>. Exiting...
Splashy ERROR: Error occured while starting Splashy
Make sure that you can read Splashy's configuration file
:(
Everything else looks so good.

Does your computer supports Compiz? AWN needs a compositing manager to work. If you can run Compiz, you should be able to run AWN

You can log out via the Main Menu dropdown bar. Click on the Menu icon at the top left panel. You should see the logout button.

First, make sure you have extracted the Mac4Lin folder to your Home directory.
Second, go to the Mac4Lin folder and make sure that the Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh file is there.
If the above are correct, open up a new terminal and type
cd Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC1
It should show something like username@username-desktop:~/Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC1$
Type
Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh
If that doesn't work, try putting a sh infront of the command, i.e
sh Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh

@Sebastian: I just found out that the PPA repository on the Globalmenu site is empty. I have updated the post for 64bit machine. Check out the tutorial again and tell me if it works.
You have to "gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" again to remove the two lines that you have added.

After installing Mac4Lin etc on either the desktop or the home folder and typing:
cd Mac4Lin_1.0_RC1
Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh
what I get is: ~$ cd Mac4Lin_1.0_RC1
bash: cd: Mac4Lin_1.0_RC1: No such file or directory
XXXXX :~$ Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh
Pity but won't be getting the great looking desktop

two things:
1. just to let you know, this tutorial also works in Fedora 10 (gnome)
2. I couldn't figure out how to change the login screen. Help is appreciated? (keep in mind that I'm using Fedora 10. I'm not sure if that's relevant, but it could be)

i did what you told me to do then this happened
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

The globalmenu for 64-bit is a buggy one. I have updated the tutorial to install the globalmenu from the Launchpad repository (for 64-bit machine). Please test it and let me know if it works.

I tried installing via 32 and 64 bit ways and no error occurred. However, when I try to add to panel, I can't find the global menu in the choices. You have any idea what's going on in my setup? Thanks.

Did you install the globalmenu 0.7.1.1. Make sure that you are not installing the latest 0.7.2 version. Also, you won't be able to use both methods (32 and 64-bit) to install.
If you are using 32-bit machine, use the 32-bit machine way with version 0.7.1.1.
If you are using 64-bit machine, use the repository way.

hey thanks I back read the comments and found the answer there. Had a hard time though because I installed an older version from source and had problems in uninstalling it. I just finished installing now using the 0.7.1.1 version and it's working now. thanks!
