Try the XKB extension. Go onto your terminal and type:

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/

The terminal will ask you for your passwor(Linux does not display your typing in terminal when entering a password, don't worry, it is entering the text!)

You should now see a list of keys and there corresponding values

(ie. key <ALT> { [ Alter ] };) Keep scrolling down until you find the ALT option. Rename the corresponding value, in this case Alter, with "Space". Press CTRL+O and then CTRL+X Hope this helps
