shutdown problem -

[Bob Goodwin-2]

    After yesterday's F-11 updates I was unable to shutdown this
    computer. It proceeded normally to stopping "fail2ban" and then just
    stopped there. I held the power button in to shutdown, rebooted and
    got the same result a second time. Control Alternate Delete had no
    effect. I shut down and went to bed. I expect it will do the same
    when next shutdown.

    Am I alone in this?

I don't know if you are alone.  I just know that I'm not in the same
situation.  Just shutdown my recently updated F11 system without
problem.  I don't run fail2ban....so can't tell you if that is your culprit.

    Ok, thanks for the response. I will disable fail2ban and have
    another go at it. But first the morning chores, dogs to walk, hungry
    horses,  etc..

    The only way I found to disable fail2ban was "yum remove." Did that
    and the problem cleared, the shutdown runs as usual again. I have a
    second F-11 computer, similar to this one which I will update and
    see what happens with it. I believe I also installed fail2ban on it.

    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.
