Provided by:CRULP
Installation Procedure
This following procedure of installing Urdu keyboard layout has only been tested on Red Hat
and Debian. It might or might not be the same with other Linux distributions.
- Download the file for phonetic keyboard named "ur" from this website.
- Now unzip and copy the file ur into the directory /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ as "ur". Note the filename should be "ur" without any extension. On some distros the directory is /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ instead.
- Make an entry for the Urdu keyboard in the file /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst if you are using X form X.org (the usual case). Otherwise, the file to edit is /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.lst (in case the X is from Xfree86). In this file, find the section marked !layout:

cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/
xkbcomp -lhlpR '*' -o ../symbols.dir
- Now that you are done with the installation of keyboard layout you need to enable it.
- a. If you are using KDE Go to Startup > Control Center > Regional & Accessibility
> Keyboard Layout. Find the newly installed keyboard layout and check it. “ur”
would appear in bottom right of your screen
- b. In case you want to use this keyboard layout while using GNOME session you need
to go to /usr/share. Find a folder named Red Hat Applnk. Inside this folder you can
