Entering sleep by losing the lid is an ACPI function
They appear to have changed things in 13.10 … I had a looksee in the 13.10 version of acpi-support and the changelog says it no longer controls the lid switch … it now appears to be controlled by lid.sh … but I’m not sure which package contains that in 13.10 or where the file is stored locally.
I’m posting all results from your commands.
the last few did not produce anything.

I know there are some bugs around the suspend functions right now, but most of them are failure to resume, or unresponsive on resume. It seems to be a problem with Cinnamon’s power manager - if you boot into MATE (assuming you’ve still got it installed), do you encounter the same problems?
no I do not have mate installed
this was laptop I bought on gumtree for £100 with win 7 as os (which has none of the resume problems)
on my netbook I have run peppermint since peppermint os2
but thought I would try a different distro, having better specs on this laptop. then after trying for a few months when both the LTS for both peppermint and cinnamon start, I would make my decision which to install.
surely if the bugs are known, shouldn’t they be addressed?
Or is it not that simple?
2 people have seen Cinnamon working and 1 is definitely installing, luckily this hasn’t put him off.
What has endeared them both to “this wonderful world of linux” is the help that is so kindly given.
