Norbert (nrbrtx) wrote : Ubiquity sets Alt+Shift shortcut for layout switching, while installed system uses Super+Space

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.
