Lost launcher on main user sign-in on two machines/versions on consecutive days

Please excuse lack of tech info but behaviour was identical on 14.10 one day and 16.04 the next. Could sign in as guest and launcher appeared, but as user/admin the screen saver page would not give me launcher (and I keep a "naked" desktop). Failed downloads could not free space on HD. Restored first machine (2005 Compaq AMD64) with 32 bit 12.04 disc>upgrade to 14.04. Second machine Dell mini could not run program on same CD from portable drive, I then discovered Gnome Flashback desktop on sign-in page...had no idea but am running desktop, not launcher. I know this does not meet guidelines for a solution but surely has a consistent failure mode!

          Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

          Image
          up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx...
