Hi Joseph, I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 17.10 and was not using the Linux before on this machine, so I cannot tell if there is some prior kernel that doesn't have the problem. But I think it is an old problem:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/158532/xubuntu-12-04-restarts-after- suspend-only-from-my-account I already tried to move ~/.config directory and create a new user as described as a workaround in the link above, but haven't had success. I tested with the mainline Kernel v4.15.1. With this kernel the screen keeps turned off and the USB devices seems to be turned off also. However, the cooler keeps blowing a hot air. Furthermore, closing the lid seems to have no effect. With kernel v4.13.0-32, the cooler stops completely but it returns to the login screen as described in the bug description. I attached the dmesg generated from a suspension try (kernel v4.13.0-32). Maybe, its information helps. A partial quote of it: ...

Closing the lid also doesn't take effect. It doesn't even turn off the display. I found that clicking on the suspend button and very quickly closing the lid seems to make it stays suspended. I'm having this trouble in a Macbook Pro 15 retina 2013 late running a Ubuntu 17.10 in the most recent version.
