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.
I've gotten out of the habit of CLI shutdowns; instead, I click
the little power button icon on my panel, and choose either Shutdown or
Reboot. That works fine.
Iirc, the last few times I tried Ctrl-Alt-Delete on any computer
(even one running XP), what it did was not shut down, but reboot. That's
one large reason I got out of the habit.

I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
