I had teh same issue, but turns out that the following two packages were not installed:
unity-gtk-module-common unity-gtk3-module The following fixed it for me: sudo apt-get install unity-gtk-module-common unity-gtk3-module On side note why this has happened to me is cause of this bug during the upgrade: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tex-common/+bug/1241563 Which broke my upgrade progress, I was only able to continue it with sudo apt-get install -f which most likefly failed to install new packages as it didn't know about them -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1221304 Title: Global app-menu is missing from Unity panel...
