Stretch to Buster with sysvinit

Hi, I have three Stretch AMD64 systems with sysvinit - a desktop and laptop running KDE and a headless server. Is there any information available anywhere to tell me what will happen when I attempt to upgrade them to Buster? The release notes don't mention it and other sources I can find just

Missing KDE "Switch user" command in Stretch

Hi, When I upgraded to Stretch I lost the "Switch user" command from the Leave section of the KDE launcher menu, from the KDE lock screen and from the SDDM login screen. This should give the choice of activating an existing session or starting a new one. Without it, it is difficult to tell if I

Hi, When I upgraded my Lenny AMD64 system to Squeeze earlier this year, the PC speaker (ie motherboard buzzer) stopped working. To get it to work I have to remove and re-add the pcspkr kernel module using modprobe every time I reboot. The only relevant bits I can find in dmesg are: [
