Bug exists in Ubuntu 14.10 (installed from Ubuntu 14.10 _Utopic Unicorn_
- Alpha i386 (20140902)).

unity-control-center keyboard indicates that Super+Space and Shift+Super+Space are used for layout switching,
/etc/default/keyboard contains:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

and Alt+Shift switches layouts in terminals (for example Ctrl+Alt+F1)
but does not work in Xorg (for example in Unity session).

So the bug is still here. Please fix it on next install media. It may
confuse Ubuntu newbies. Please fix it before 14.10 final release.

Bug description:
  Super+Space is default combination for switching keyboard layouts in
  gnome3, unity, Mac OS X, Windows. 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.
