That's why I put the command in the reply.
Control-Alt-F3 through Control-Alt-F6, you press this sequence while
in the GUI, and it switches to a virtual console. There, you log in
and run the above command,
shutdown -P now

Right, but if you run the above command in a console, it will print
out the shutdown messages, and they will end with something like
systemd poweroff reached power off
and, at least here, then the system powers down.
That will tell you whether fedora is requesting powering off, and the
laptop isn't heeding the command, or if it isn't present, tells you
that fedora isn't honoring the request to power off.
Reviewing the play .... :-)
I have figured out that my problem has nothing to do with hibernate.
Sorry for the confusion.
What's happening is that my laptop suddenly looses the keyboard and
blanks the screen. Re-boot :-(
