<pre>Hi
I am sorry that ubuntu offers no such support for free software.
Upgrading the OS can be an option.
Or requesting support from ubuntu or someone who can develop a backport.
This can be requested on an ubuntu forum.

<br>
</span> Looks wonderful--
I am really looking
forward to the day when
I'll be able to upgrade
kexi versions. The version
I have right now is so
dysfunctional. Any time
the mouse crosses from the
left side of the screen
into the left side of the
table, it makes the table
jump to the top. This is
endlessly frustrating and
a huge waste of time. Say
I am working in row #750,
the mouse moves across the
left border of the table
and all of a sudden the
table jumps to row#1. If
there is any fix for this,
please advise.<br>

Regardless of availability

staying with outdated

problem for apps that do
not evolve much anymore
but Kexi is actively
developed and users are
hungry for features :)<br>

Does this mean that 16.04 is going to install an old
version of kexi? <br>
<br>
Or are you saying you don't know what version of Kexi it
will install?<span class=""><br>

Do I need to first uninstall my existing version of

to do the install?<br>

Or can I leave the current install in place and install
2.9.11 alongside it?<span class=""><br>

I just now uninstalled kexi using the Ubuntu software manager, and
then followed the listed tutorial for the new install of Calligra
2.9.11. But to my surprise, it merely re-installed the very same old
version which I've had for ages (Kexi Version 2.8.5, Using KDE
Platform Version 4.14.13). So I'm afraid the tutorial is not working
for installing Calligra 2.9.11. It just installs the ages old
version of KOffice which comes with Ubuntu 14.04 repos. Please do
let me know if you have a solution for this.
