Sysvinit 2.93 from Buster has been backported and is on its way to the test repo. It works fine for me so far. What I upgraded was

Thanks, Stevo! One more wee bug that affects some users has been squashed, or will be in MX 18.3 or 19. Meanwhile we can tell users that report this issue to just install sysvinit 2.93 from the test repo and reboot.

(KBD, don't forget to mark this solved.)

Good sleuthing! Look at websearch result on "xfce prompt at logout beep" -- you're not the first!

I tried that 'xset b off' and it had no effect. I can hold the power button and it shuts off without a beep. I found a startup setting for 'beep on startup' and disabled that to no effect. I think I had this problem awhile back on this computer and found a solution, but my searches are bringing me no joy so far :(

The right form is xset -b. Put in the startup programs (whisker, settings,session and startup. No sounds anymore. I use HP8470p. I had also a HP 2570p that gifted to my brother, so I know very well what kind of HP you have.

Jay, I would, but not the original author. OP just had the exact same issue so I joined in.

Thanks pengiun. These are solid machines, if a bit on the heavy side.
