[SOLVED] Can't switch international keyboard

Hi there,

The issue is I can't switch keyboard from US to Cyrillic layout with the help of ALt-Shift keys combination.

I'd like to have original US localization, but be able to read/edit Cyrillic files.

Here is relevant info:

# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
VC Toggle Keymap: ru
      X11 Layout: us,ru
       X11 Model: pc104
     X11 Variant: grp:alt_shift_toggle

# more  /etc/locale.conf
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

# locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

# more /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf 
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "system-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
        Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
        Option "XkbVariant" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"

# locale -a
C
en_US.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8

Please help.
