Hi Thomas,

1. There was a name error, wrong name of the input iso file - easy to
understand and fix, but I asked before thinking twice. There was also an
ownership/permission error, the file was owned by root and there were
not enough permissions for the standard user (because I had copied it
from my main computer to the test drive with Groovy persistent live,
where I installed programs and ran commands according to your advice).

2. mkusb creates a GPT by default, when making a persistent live drive.
This can be modified in the settings menu. The default is not to use
usb-pack-efi, and it has not been necessary with previous versions of
Ubuntu (including 20.04.x LTS), it has worked to use 'grub-install
command lines' (in the script dus-persistent).

After the big modification of the boot structure is has been necessary
to use usb-pack-efi (selected in the settings menu) to make persistent
live drives from Groovy iso files. I have not yet tested how mkusb can
create persistent live drives with your modifications with the xorriso
command line.

3. And yes, previous Ubuntu versions from when UEFI mode and cloning
were established (I think around 12.10 or 13.04) it has worked to clone
to USB drives, and these USB drives can boot both in BIOS and UEFI mode
(including 20.04.x LTS and Groovy until the beginning of June and the
big modification of the boot structure.

4. I am afraid, that there are several other new and fairly new Lenovo
computers that are affected by this bug.

4.1 One of them is reported here by @RussianNeuroMancer in comment #151:

Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS with arm architecture

If I understand correctly, it can boot (in UEFI mode) from a USB drive
with the content of the current Groovy iso file *extracted* to a FAT32
partition.
