Yes, thanks, this was the next thing on the list for us to test. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/20201008/

@sudodus, @leok, could you please retest on Lenovo V-series with this image?
Reports on other hardware are only relevant if it does boot on the Lenovo
V-series; also, we don't need test reports from using tools that modify the
image when writing to disk.
