To install the hddtemp package from Ubuntu 21.10 in Ubuntu 22.04-23.04 run the following commands:

sudo apt update
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hddtemp/hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb  
sudo apt install ./hddtemp_0.3-beta15-53_amd64.deb

exfat-utils has been replaced by exfatprogs (tools to create, check and label exFAT filesystems) in Ubuntu 22.04 and later. To install exfatprogs in Ubuntu 22.04 and later run the following command:

sudo apt install exfatprogs

The tools included in this package are the exfatprogs maintained by Samsung engineers, who provided Linux exFAT support. A similar but independent implementation of these tools, written by the author of the exfat-fuse implementation, is available in the exfat-utils package.

Read and write support for the exFAT filesystem is implemented in the Linux kernel in versions 5.7 and later.

  • I am having issues with exfat on Ubuntu 22.04 that doesn't seem to happen on 20.04. Is 20.04 using the fuse-based exfat-utils? What would be a good way to switch to using that version, while making it easy to revert to exfatprogs in case it eventually gets fixed?

    exfat-utils is in the default repositories of Ubuntu 20.04 and earlier, and can be downloaded with wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/exfat-utils/exfat-utils_1.3.0-1_amd64.deb and installed in 22.04 with sudo apt install ./exfat-utils_1.3.0-1_amd64.deb The following new packages will be installed: exfat-fuse exfat-utils. Uninstall exfatprogs first with sudo apt remove exfatprogs
