Try to deinstall cups and remove any usb cameras. I had had the problem, that
cups detected an usb camera as a printer and then stopped booting.
I tried removing all cups packages, then it just stalled at Unattended
upgrades shutdown instead.
So I tried disabling that, and now it stalls at Hostname Service.
I'm guessing there's some underlying issue that hasn't got anything to do
with these services but I have no idea what it might be.
Have you considered the possibility it's *not* hung, but is in fact
booted and working?
Have you tried pressing Enter a few times to see if a new login prompt
gets printed?
Quite often I lose my Login: or Password: prompt, caused by something
having the effect of sending Ctrl-A Ctrl-K to the console—a minor
inconvenience that I've never bothered to investigate.
But I've never managed to lose both the /etc/issue output and the
Login: line.
If pressing Enter doesn't work, it might be that the "main" VC is
broken; perhaps try switching to another VC with Alt-→ and seeing
if a Login: prompt appears there.
