Possible upgrade to 22.04, doubt with repos

[wonder]

At the time, I did both an upgrade from kubuntu 20.04 to 22.04 and a fresh install of kubuntu 22.04.
I was surprised with the upgrade, it is... you can say that it is perfect, frankly good.

I currently have 22.04 and I am thinking of going back to 20.04, some drivers of my electronic card reader not yet available in 22.04 and something else, make me think about it but....if I do, I would go back to 22.04 via an upgrade.

The process of the upgrade is clear to me, but I do have a doubt that is the one that I would not know how to solve.

All the repositories that I had added, any way to add them without having to add them one by one? There is a repo added to me by installing the software and then I wouldn't know how to add the repo.

Sorry if I didn't express myself well.

So if I understand you correctly:
1. You upgraded from 20.04 to 22.04
2. Everything was perfect
3. You want to go back to 20.04
4. You are having driver issues for electronic card reader in 22.04
5. If you do go back to 20.04 and decide to upgrade to 22.04, you will do it via an upgrade but not clean install
6. You understand the process of an upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04

The process of the upgrade is clear to me, but I do have a doubt that is the one that I would not know how to solve.

Doubts about what? Solve what?

All the repositories that I had added

What repositories? Do you mean PPA's that you have added?

any way to add them without having to add them one by one?

Add what? PPA's that you have added?

there is a repo added to me by installing the software and then I wouldn't know how to add the repo[

What repo? What software? Installing software does not usually add a repo.

I do not think your post is very clear. It will make it hard for anyone to try and help you. Take a deep breath, gather your thoughts and try again. Make your post more clear by being specific. What repos, what software, what problem do you have doubts about?

[wonder]

I will try to explain myself better;

I have tried both options, do a fresh install and upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.

I was surprised by the upgrade, it has the same result as a fresh install.

Right, right now I'm considering going back to 20.04 due to certain problems with specific drivers that still don't exist for 22.04 and I need them.

In the case of making the decision to go back to 20.04, in the future, I will upgrade to 22.04 because I could verify that the upgrade gives a frankly good result.

That's right, repos I mean PPA's, and correct, there are programs that add the ppa, for example, for example, edge.

What is my question / problem?
At the time of upgrading from 20.04 to 22.04 how to add all the ppa's you have.

The ideas, for me, are clear, I am not a native English speaker, perhaps my expression failed.

PPAs are disabled during an upgrade, as they can potentially cause conflicts.
After the upgrade, you can go an re-enable them via the Software Sources tool, found in Discover's settings area, or via Muon Package Manager.

But beware that not all PPAs will have packages for 22.04. This is up to the person who created it, if they have the time or desire to do so, or simply haven't gotten around to it yet. It is a good idea to check.

More specifics on that might help What hardware, and how did you get it working in 20.04?

No problems. I just wanted to make sure we could understand where you were having a problem so we can help you. Your last post was perfect!

Thanks, that was my doubt, I understand that an added ppa is for the version of kubuntu in which we add the ppa.
I did not know that the ppa's that have been deactivated during the upgrade could be reactivated, in principle the ppa's that I have if they are compatible with 22.04, my question was her, if they could be enabled after an upgrade or they had to be added one by one again.

It is an electronic card reader, the reader is recognized but the driver used to detect the card (it is the electronic ID of my country) is not yet for 22.04.
I don't know if this information will be enough for you to know what I mean, the .deb is called:
libpkcs11-dnie_1.6.8_amd64
And as specified, it is valid only until version 21.10, after several tests in different distros, I have verified that, indeed, 21.10 and lower detect it well, 22.04 does not.
I forgot, it is the SCR3310 card reader, for which, it is recognized, but as I mentioned, it is the driver that recognizes my electronic DNI (official identification document of my country) with a digital signature application.

No problems. I just wanted to make sure we could understand where you were having a problem so we can help you. Your last post was perfect!

As you indicate, it is important to understand the query, doubt or whatever it is to be able to help us well and it is appreciated, I am aware that I may not explain myself well, I would love to know how to express myself better in English. I need to study it more.

I believe this is your device:
Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04e6:5116 SCM Microsystems, Inc. SCR331-LC1 / SCR3310 SmartCard Reader
as of now there are no kernel drivers for this device per:
https://linux-hardware.org/index.php?id=usb:04e6-5116
but according to that link above:

You need to install the following additional drivers for the device to work properly:

• rousseau/CCID

Hopefully someone can help your further from this point forward. It appears to have been updated a week ago.

Correct, that is my reader, as you comment, it is not in the kernel, but with the drivers provided by the government website of my country, it is operational (it was a reader that when my country changed to the electronic ID system, it was distributed - sold at a low price).

I have searched, and searched a lot, I had not found the link you provide, thanks! if i can get it working then there will be no reason to downgrade to 20.04
I had also thought about changing the electronic reader for a more up-to-date one...it would be another solution, but since I don't use it daily, I thought I'd continue using this one in the hope that they would release the 22.04 driver soon.

Tomorrow I test and post results.

To complete the info, the driver that I install is the one I mentioned earlier, so that my reader is able to read my electronic card (which is my national identity document).
This driver is provided here.

Thanks for this info and help.

Grateful!
I had seen that link, but not the previous one of yours indicated, I think that the previous one indicated in your penultimate post, it is possible that it "saves" my card reader.
Thanks, many days searching, trying... without success in 22.04, even, I got to block my identification card (it allows 3 password attempts, the 4th wrong one blocks it) and I had to go to a police station to unblock it...

I wish you luck! Let us know how everything works out. Post back here if you need additional help or have questions.
