Reinstalled Utopic from official beta2 , the bug is still here. The /etc/default/keyboard looks the same as comment 19 (Unity uses Win+Space, console uses Alt+Shift).

Thus for consistently, Xorg; console-setup; and ubiquity should also use Super+Space combination for switching keyboard layouts. reading xkeyboard-config sources and documentations i don't see that xkeyboard-config can support grp:lwin_space and i guess that needs to be the first step to properly support super+space. Original bug report below: Recently I installed Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu GNOME 13.10. I use two keyboard layouts - English and Russian. So I select them on the corresponding screen of ubiquity setup wizard. It quietly set the keyboard switching shortcut to Alt+Shift and wrote this setting to /etc/default/keyboard: # ... XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us,ru" XKBVARIANT="," XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" # ... On first boot of installed system the small notification pop-up showed that Ibus will use Super+Space for layout switching. Please fix this configuration inconsistency. ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: ubiquity (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 21 12:16:58 2013 InstallCmdLine: file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu-gnome.seed boot=casper only-ubiquity initrd=/casper/initrd.lz quiet splash -- InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-21 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release i386 (20131017) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: ubiquity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1242572/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
