I can confirm that this bug also affects the notebook Lenovo V17 G4 IRU 83A20009GE (also called: Lenovo V17 Gen 4 i) with Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

I've just installed Kubuntu 24.04 LTS on it ("secure boot" enabled in EFI Bios; otherwise simply by attaching installation USB stick). The installation worked smoothly and perfectly.

First reboot brought a black screen. Nothing at all happened after the Lenovo logo. I tried this with a hard reset a couple of times. Then I executed the following workaround.

- It's an UEFI installation, so pressed ESC key once after hard reset (after Lenovo logo).
- Edited GRUB via pressing "e".
- added "nomodeset" to line beginning "Linux ..."
- started OS with CTRL + x
- It worked, perfectly.

OS does NOT work without nomodeset.

Unlike the HP notebook (see above), the energy saving options seem to work. So this bug seems not to be so serious for the Lenovo notebook. I could return from manually induced "Standby" mode by simply pressing any key.

Editing /etc/default/grub by adding "nomodeset" to "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:" line works permanently as well.
