Cannot Disable Finder Integration on macOS Big Sur #3990

Open dwhagar opened 3 years ago

dwhagar commented 3 years ago

I have been attempting to get Keybase to disable Finder Integration on macOS Big Sur for over an hour. If I go through the UI (Settings, Files, Disable Finder Integration) it says it's going to restart Keybase to complete the process. Then Keybase starts back up and indeed the Keybase folder shows back up on my desktop and in /Volumes. So I go into the command line and disable the kbfs service, again Keybase enables the service immediately upon launch and sets the override so that the service cannot be disabled. So I delete the entire service file, upon launching Keybase recreates it.

How on EARTH do I disable Finder Integration??

I faced the same issue when installed via HomeBrew. I overcame this by uninstalling Keybase, run following commands:

 keybase uninstall

 brew uninstall keybase  # only when installed via HomeBrew

And then installed again via the dmg file downloaded from the site. And don't install the helper, which Keybase may give, don't install it or otherwise you will end up installing finder integration again.

Do not do anything apart from this, i.e. don't manually remove any files, cause that lead me to re-register my device as a new one. And Reboot!

This solved the Keybase's finder integration but whenever opened there is an annoying pop of helper-installer(finder-integration), can't resolve that, but the integration has been removed.

Cheers!

The most recent version, v5.6.2, works properly on macOS 11.2 for me.

The latest update fixes this.

I'm having this exact issue running Keybase (Version 5.6.2-20210202191343+d72cc00cd3) on macOS 11.2.3.

While the issue did get solved at first, the latest version I cannot disable Finder Integration again. It just started popping back up. Current version I"m using is 5.6.2-20210202191343+d72cc00cd3 on macOS 11.2.3.

Keybase is an abandoned project. I recommend a full uninstall.

Look at the commit history https://github.com/keybase/client/graphs/contributors. Precipitous drop off last year at the Zoom acquisition. Keybase employees are now working on Zoom, not Keybase. I sent an email to the Keybase security team about a potential exploit, no response.

I am 100% completely stuck here and it is FUCKING KILL ME. :) I have the latest OS X, 11.2.3 (20D91). I am on the latest Keybase Version 5.6.2-20210202191343+d72cc00cd3 (5.6.2-20210202191343+d72cc00cd3).

Installing it doesn't complete and I have tried every tip suggested on the fucking internet and fuck Keybase straight to hell and I am abandoning it immediately.

Finder integration reenables itself when disabled.
