Oops, you are trying to run as an admin user (Uid: 0). This isn't supported.

What am I doing wrong? I'm using the deb from https://prerelease.keybase.io/keybase_amd64.deb

maxtaco commented 6 years ago

Hmm, seems to work for me, which version are you running?

bootstraponline commented 6 years ago 
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -ex

export KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1
keybase service &
sleep 1
keybase oneshot

I'm using the prerelease deb.

maxtaco commented 6 years ago

Can you do a keybase version for me?

maxtaco commented 6 years ago

We'll ship a new build today. We had builds paused while we incorporated some big changes. Things are pretty solid mpw, so we're ready to start shipping dailies now.

I can't even check the version as root. That's kind of amazing.

espoelstra commented 6 years ago

You should be able to su anyotheruser -c 'keybase version'.

maxtaco commented 6 years ago

Try the most recent release?

bootstraponline commented 6 years ago

I'm at I/O. I'll try it as soon as I get back.

I'm having the same issue with the most recent deb build (2.3.0-20180703160439.fc6ccd458e).

In my case, it appears that a properly set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is causing the background service to fail with the "Oops, ... admin user ..." error message. Using unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR allows the service to run.

Adding Environment=KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1 to /usr/lib/systemd/user/keybase.service, followed by a killall keybase ; sleep 1; run_keybase, seems to fix the problem for me (without requiring XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to be null).

+ping @maxtaco

This is still a problem (although the same work-arounds work) with the current newest version:

[user@ubuntu-001 ~]$ keybase version
Client:  2.11.0-20181115195458+06d3f3f3c4
DiagonalArg commented 5 years ago

I am also having a similar problem to @rivy, though the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR workaround is not helping, nor is modifying /usr/lib/systemd/user/keybase.service by adding Environment=KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1. I'm reporting my issue here: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/14840
