Keybase: Files need to be rekeyed #4564

Closed genos closed 7 years ago

genos commented 7 years ago

Similar to this issue and this one, I keep getting the files need to be rekeyed error. This is because I had to completely wipe & reinstall my OS after attempting to update to Max OS X Sierra. Thanks very much, and sorry for the trouble!

keybase sign -m "$(date) Please reset folder /keybase/private/genos and /keybase/public/genos because a Sierra failure required Keybase reinstall"

Ok, I will look into this a little later today.

Out of curiousity, why did you revoke your paper key morning juice? You could have recovered the folders with that (which should be independent of your OS installation).

@strib I absolutely could have, sorry. In my frenzy to get this computer up and running again, I mistakenly revoked the paper key. My apologies!

strib commented 7 years ago

Bummer! We plan to fix up our clients to give you better warnings when you're about to revoke a key that will lose you access to your data, but we haven't done that yet. Sorry!

I reset those folders. Please check it out, and close this out if things look good.

Looks like that did the trick! Thanks for your time.
