<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.

A modern way of distributing software may help us soon:

</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>

<div style="font-size:

was long ago fixed.</div>
<div style="font-size:

is to upgrade the OS
or install another
copy in a virtual
machine or different
computer. Regardless
of availability of the
Snap packages, staying
with outdated software
on LTS platforms will
be always a
compromise. It's not a
problem for apps that
do not evolve much
anymore but Kexi is
actively developed and
users are hungry for
features :)<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. <br>

<font size="+1">just to add some salt.<br>
Running Kubuntu 15.10 which delivers Kexi 2.9.7 (much better than
2.8.5) I added the backport PPA ....which put down the file
manager, and did not upgrade Kexi to 2.9.11<br>
<br>
So I just went back to before the added PPA, corrected some
problems....and now go on waiting for next upgrades of Kexi by
basic PPAs, since, on another hand, I don't success to compile....<br>
