I think this is a known bug.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196277

Temporary Workaround. After each reboot open Keyboard Layouts (Keyboard Preferences) and do some change (f.ex. remove/add a an extra layout) to start working again.

Another workaround using a script: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/196277/comments/60

I'm fix a bug already. I changed the xorg.conf by
"
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,th"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
EndSection

"
I think is not userfriendly for a new user if they will fix a bug with xorg.conf
