Not loading drivers for USB devices

I just upgraded to 22.04 from 20.04 and now ubuntu has decided that most USB drivers are overrated. It seems to only load HID and storage drivers, I can't get anything else to work.

I know all of these devices to work both with the previous installation of 20.04 as well as 22.04 on my laptop without any issues or additional setup (apart from the internal wireless card which I can't plug into the laptop).

Why does it not load the respective drivers here? Do I have to manually install drivers somehow? Is there some setting that would prevent it from loading these USB drivers?

Any tips are appreciated.

Here is my output of lsusb -t

Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal commands: `lsusb` and also: `sudo dpkg -s linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) | grep Status`

@chili555 if you want to have an accepted response: I installed `linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)` which failed due to missing `linux-headers-5.19.0-42-generic ` so I installed that and then reinstalled the extra modules and now usb drivers exist :)

'linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-42-generic' is not installed

It is likely that the 'extras' package is installed in an earlier kernel version and that the drivers are therefore working there. Please boot into an earlier kernel at the GRUB menu and then do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-42-generic

If this is not working, download the package here and transfer it on a USB key or similar. https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-42-generic Install it with:

sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb

Reboot. You should be all set.

CAUTION: Please be certain that the package you install matches the running kernel where the drivers are not present. Find out:

uname -r

Can you add info why "boot into an earlier kernel" is needed? (to make this answer better for future reference....)

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
