I can't see that img you posted, its not clear

In login screen, you can select gnome classic,gnome ,etc DMs.

^^Right. He means he's missing the top menubar which was there on Old version of Ubuntu's prior to Unity.

@OP Do as gopi said. Ubuntu shifted from Gnome to Unity as their default Desktop Environment.
