Well, Steve F, you must love this. Thanks for the fast responses. Why Clueless? You are anything but!
So, I suspended for 45 minutes on mains, as you call it: lid down at 14:55, lid up and hit Enter at 15:40. Log is since 14:55 until 15:42. Black screen. I was able to open a console(?) with CTRL-ALT-F2. I ran a resume log and piped it. I will attach the txt file if I can. The actual journalctl file would be better to send to you, since it has multiple color-coded entries that suggest a firmware problem and repeatedly recommend to update. I wonder if that means a PC BIOS issue or an OS issue. I actually tried to find a BIOS update for the PC, but Acer seems to have removed all references to this computer from its web page. I was able to shutdown with the poweroff command. Thank you for that.
Next, while still on mains (I like using that term), I rebooted and logged on. I lowered the lid for about 30 seconds. When I raised it and hit Enter > black screen. Like before, I was able to get a console and poweroff. So, when on mains, time is not a factor. Wow.
I look forward to learning what happens on your Aspire.
By the way, this computer is not important for me. I am going to use it to learn Linux, so if we cannot get it to suspend, that's OK. Regardless, I guess it would be nice for your group to find out what is happening. I will stick with it as long as you are still interested.
