Not entries here. Also none is /var/log/syslog (which looks very similar
to the journalctl output otherwise).

Well, if I only needed text base stuff I could not run X at all. OK, then
there is not problem with suspending stuff, as X doesn't exist.

In fact on the old computer I demoted to a server, I removed X, which
removed most if not all of all X related stuff (Firefox as one example),
freeing 20 GB or more. I could still use it to write in the usenet,
mails or use text browsers.

May be this is because when I first got Linux in the mid/late 90s there
was not enough space on the hard disk (most occupied by Windows 95) to
also install X11. Thus I learned to use Linux with the command line
only. Call it nostalgia. :-D
