I came across this bug looking for a solution. I can reproduce on 1.75 and now 1.76, W variant of the BIOS on my X390 Yoga i5 no vpro.
When you shutdown/reboot the laptop, everything shuts down like normal, but my FnLock and Mute keys stay lit and the screen is black no backlight. The computer wont power back on unless I disconnect any USB-C power sources then Ctrl-Alt-Delete or hold the power button down until it resets. USB-C video/network dongles don't seem to affect it, nor does thunderbolt. Only power adapters cause it to hang. I tried both USB-C ports with my power adapter and they both do it. I experience this on any Linux distro I try. From kernels 5.4 to 5.8, haven't tried further back. For me the 1.76 release wasn't showing up in fwupdmgr so I manually installed it. Simply download n2lul15w.zip from https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/sk/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x390-yoga/downloads/DS539544 and unzip it. Install the W variant with $ sudo fwupdmgr install ./N2LET76W.cab or the P variant (absolute persistence module must be disabled in the BIOS) Install the W variant with $ sudo fwupdmgr install ./N2LET76P.cab The P or W is if you want the Absolute Persistence module to be force disabled (P). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1890415 Title: Lenovo ThinkPad X390 won’t boot while plugged in Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello. I’m using Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga (model type: 20NN002NMC). I have been using dual boot of the preinstalled Windows 10 x64 and Linux. I have tried the latest versions of Ubuntu and Debian. About 6 weeks ago, after updating the BIOS to N2LET76W 1.75 (https://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/n2lur14w.txt) and the Intel Management Engine Firmware (12.0.67.1579), an issue arose. When I boot to Ubuntu 20.04.1 (kernel 5.4.0-42-generic) using the Grub bootloader with active Secure Boot (fully supported), and then I turn the notebook off or restart it in Ubuntu, it won’t turn back on – it won’t POST, the screen is black, etc. After that time, I need to unplug the notebook from the power adapter, or remove it from the dock, and it will boot on battery. But it won’t boot while plugged in until it boots into Windows and is turned off/restart from it. After booting to Windows, it works fine while plugged in, until it is turned off in Ubuntu again. I have tried install recommend drivers and software.. It looks like a BIOS/Firmware error related to power management. I’m using the latest BIOS/Firmware updated via the official Lenovo software – Lenovo Vantage (bios version 1.76). Notebook was sent to Lenovo for repairs, the motherboard was replaced, yet the problem persists – hence thinking it’s BIOS/Firmware related. Lenovo claims it’s Linux’s issue, even though the list it as officially supported (https://support.lenovo.com/sk/en/solutions/pd031426) and there refer me to the community. Lenovo stuff inform me too, that this issue may be related to requirements Windows 10 v2004. Many thanks for your help.
