    I updated the second computer and it displays the same problem. The
    system stops at  "Stopping fail2ban" and I have no control after
    that. About all it does it acknowledge "Control-Alt-Delete pressed!"
    I can bring up another terminal and it asks me to loin but does not
    accept keystrokes. I will have to remove fail2ban in order to
    restore normal operation ...

    Oh-ho, it finally appears to have recovered and is now presenting me
    with a login screen. I logged in and entered "poweroff" and it is
    stuck at "stopping fail2ban" again.

    It stayed there six minutes and then shut down normally from that point.
