Thanks for figuring this out. @gabriel / @cjb we should make a ticket for this one!
Currently we only support kbfs from a single user account since the /keybase is "global".
We have a change we want to make where when you stop keybase it removes this /keybase placeholder directory, so theoretically you could log out as one user, log in as another user and it would work. This is a simpler fix than supporting 2 users running kbfs at same time on single machine which we can't support at least for a bit.
Oh sorry re-read the issue description, yeah if it was the same user then there is a problem. If this is macOS sierra it's a known problem, if not, could you do a keybase log send
?
Same keybase user, different OS user… But there's no way you can know that.
Unless you create a OS group with the name of my keybase user prefixed with keybase
and set the permissions to ---rw----
? 🤔
Oh it is multiple OS users. We won't be able to support them running at same time but we are working on some fixes so you can change between OS users on same machine... Fix it so exiting keybase doesn't leave a placeholder /keybase directory around.
Same symptoms as #3576:
Same reason:
/keybase
already exists.Root cause: I had logged in to Keybase on another session. Even if the other session is closed, the folder is left there, and its permissions are
drw-------
and owner is the creator of it. I thus can't use KBFS on another session, even for the same account.
