OS: 10.15 Beta (19A471t) (Catalina)

Error when starting the app for the first time after the OS upgrade. Worked on MacOS 10.14 (Mojave)

Keybase Install Error
We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM.

Please run `keybase log send` to report the error.

Unable to manually enable Keybase in Finder

Error: /keybase is unavailable. Please try again. at _o.a.readdir (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:3034045) at FSReqWrap.oncomplete (fs.js:141:20)

I also have the same issue on 10.15 beta — my log ID is 4fa470c470f83241a97d791c.

I've tried the tricks that used to work in the past to free up device slots:

sudo kextunload -b com.apple.filesystems.smbfs
sudo kextunload -b com.intel.kext.intelhaxm

I've also added Keybase to the list of apps with "Full Disk Access" under the Privacy tab of System Preferences / Security & Privacy. But nothing seems to work :(

Any idea what might be going wrong? And anything I can do to help debug the issue?

there is a "working" fix in #17796 btw

Catalina support will be arriving in the next release, hopefully out next week sometime.

[ssx]

@strib can you ping this issue when the Catalina compatible version is released, please! 😇

[strib]

Keybase 4.4.0 (out today) has better file system support for Catalina now. Please let us know if you have more problems with it. Note that the /keybase mount point is no longer viable on fresh installs of Catalina due to macOS namespace restrictions, so now we mount at /Volumes/Keybase if /keybase does not already exist.

Still getting this error on Catalina 10.15 Beta (19A558d) using version 4.4.2 freshly installed as of two days ago.

@klevermonicker is /Volumes/Keybase working for you ok? And does /keybase exist at all?

[klevermonicker]

@strib At the time I wrote it wasn't even attempted to use /Volumes/Keybase and /keybase didn't exist. About a day after I posted this an update hit to 4.5.0 and the problem resolved itself with a keybase-redirector showing up in my mount list and files existing in the /Volumes path

Just upgraded ... /keybase/ was apparently moved to a "Security" folder, and KBFS mounted itself on /Volumes/Keybase/, which is a royal pain ... just trying to figure out how many scripts I'm going to have to update now because of this.

Thanks. Apple.
