rekey needed for private storage directory on (same) older device #14163

Open wis opened 5 years ago

because of an init error that started occurring on app launch few months ago, I needed to reinstall, luckily I copied the keybase app installation folder (and I think I got the keys to do this manually and remove old device). the emails from keybase instruct to just launch the app on the other older PC device (previous installation) so it can auto rekey. error message I was getting on launch How can I do this manually with the CLI? how do I use the files of previous installation (which I was signed in with the command line and was successful in adding a device) to sign in now to use the CLI? if the new installation is a newer version will it work nonetheless?

I can reset the folder, but can you please explain more about what happened? I'm confused. It looks like you provisioned device 05101804 with an existing device peeseehehe on 10/4. But apparently that device peeseehehe did not rekey all your folders for you, like it should have. And then you revoked it on 10/9, so now it's not possible and a folder reset is needed. Was peeseehehe not running the KBFS process at anytime between 10/4 and 10/9?

Also, are you still having the problems originally described in this issue?

I reset the folder. Please check it out (answering my questions above as best you can) and close this if everything seems ok. (Might require a Keybase restart.)

I don't think KBFS process was running, I suspect it's my fault for accidentally uninstalling dokan during a uninstallation spree, IIRC KB drive wasn't existent/mounted before reinstalling. after a client restart now I'm getting this error ERROR CODE 218 - Can't get TLF private key for key generation 1 in method keybase.1.SimpleFS.simpleFSWait but what is that init error about? could it be related?
