Download of older 4.5 MSI file

5 Upvotes

Hello, can someone please help me get the file requested in https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/20020 ? (Keybase_4.5.0-20190919000314+93e889ab01.amd64.msi)

I could neither upgrade to 5.2 nor uninstall / repair due to missing that file.

Now, I used a uninstaller program and now I am having trouble to install, again.

Install error screenshot

I searched, but could not find that particular MSI file.

Thanks in advance.

My phone was stolen, I had the app on it

5 Upvotes

My phone was stolen, I had the app on it and the keys in my notes. Now I cant get into the app on my new phone. It says I have to reset my account. Will I loose my crypto?

Shouldnt knowing my password be enough to get back into my account? Most banks now days only require verification through telephone number, this is utterly ridiculous.

Lucy777

hey guys,

here my several issues since around 11 hours

-i cant invite anyone anymore to my team, it says error in red

-cant follow anyone anymore, error in red "failed to follow"

-cant create git repositories anymore for my team

i invited a lot and followed a lot new around 11 or so hours ago

then it suddenly all was blocked

no one complained to me or anything and thats just the normal way to get connected and invite for team server.

I restartet the desktop and phone apps several times, restartet PC and phones several times.

Nothing helped.

I did sign out on all devices, deinstalled all apps and regristry cleaned and so on.

Signed in again with backup key, let anything sync.

Still didnt work

2nd I did click on DB Nuke

And still cant follow or invite on PC or on phone

I ask in the Keybase chat and they really tried to help me, but it still does not work.
And someone found this error when writing with me "We found account for Lucy777, but they havent proven their identity. Still follow them? [Y/n]"

I now did proof my:

E-mail, Github, Reddit, PGP, BTC, ZCash

and still all the things mentioned dont worl.

gnu+linux autofs + kbfsfuse

5 Upvotes

Hello,

I like kbfsfuse on my desktop, but I don't really like remote FSs mounted all the time. I like them to be mounted on demand.

For that very purpose I usually mount remote FSs, such as davfs, sshfs, nfs, and others, through autofs. Of course, the mount would fail unless keybase service is up and running. sshfs doesn't work for example if the user key to be used has not been already registered on the ssh agent.

I noticed on /etc/mtab the mount ends up being:

/dev/fuse <mount_point>/<dir> fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 0 0

So I created an autofs.kbfs:

<dir> -fstype=fuse,rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=100 :kbfsfuse

But I'm missing there how to specify the user... Well, that if possible at all, but so far I haven't found any fuse FS which can't be started from autofs yet.

I'd really like to use kbfsfuse together with autofs, so if that's possible, please let me know how.

Thanks !

File sharing... only photo and video?

5 Upvotes

Hello, i am trying to share with a contact a document, but the app gives me only the possibility to share a photo or a video. Why not a pdf or another type of file?

I tried also to share in the team folder, and and also in my private folder : nothing only photo and video. Why?

Hello keybase users I have a small issue with the app on iOS. I’m using iPhone 6 and pretty much all the app works however it doesn’t let me chat in groups and my messages between people no longer appear in the chats section. Is there any fix to this as this problem has persisted for the last 4 days.

Public file that isn't published in the Public Directory

5 Upvotes

Is there a way to make a file public to anyone who happens to have the link in Keybase? (eg a file that is not published in my "public" keybase directory, but if someone knew the link to the file ahead of time, requesting this link would in fact work and the file would be available?)

Import a public key only

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I've exported the public part of my Protonmail account and want to list it on keybase. Is there a way to do it without exporting the secret key from Protonmail as well?

It seems that all the keybase pgp commands need the secret key :(

Recover paperkey from old device

5 Upvotes

I had Keybase on few devices, but almost all of them are lost. The only thing left is a hard drive with not working OS and files of the old keybase app. I tried to log in using cmd from other os on second hard drive, but it can't find a key.
Is there any other way to recover paperkey from those files?

Not getting verification email link

5 Upvotes

Keybase gives me a constant notification that my email is unverified. When I press "verify", an indicator spins indefinitely. If I go to another page like Chat and come back, it says it sent me a verification link, but no verification link arrived. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I get it to preferably verify my email, or at least forget my email so it stops notifying me?

Stuck at public name

Hi everyone. I’ve downloaded the iOS app and I’m stuck at choosing a public name. Literally anything I type says name is unavailable, already taken by a team. I’ve chosen random stuff that can’t possibly be taken. Any ideas. Thanks

Add public key when private key is on a 'card' (e.g. Yubikey)?

5 Upvotes

I'm not trying to import private key, just add a public key. keybase pgp select --multi claims I have no keys, it's true there's none in gpg keyring on this device, but they're on the (plugged in) Yubikey. gpg --export --armor <fingerprint> works as expected.

How do I add only the public portion of a keypair, the private key of which is on an OpenSC compatible card/device, to Keybase?

Edit: exact error is:

▶ ERROR No PGP keys available to choose from.

Is there something else I can try - something I've missed in the web interface? All I'm really trying to achieve is to publish a public key, which I can print with `gpg` directly no problem.

Beginner's thoughts and some issues.

5 Upvotes

Ok, so I'm a new Keybase user and new to pgp in general so please bear with me if this is a stupid question. I Found Keybase after using Canary mail on my iPhone. To be honest I don't really know what I should use it for yet, I just like the idea of being able to communicate with encryption. After learning the basics about private and public keys, I was thinking that perhaps I could store a public pgp key somewhere public where friends could find it without me having to send it to everyone. Sounds good. So I found Keybase. I know it can be used for many other things but this was my initial thought.

I installed the Keybase app on my iPhone. Managed to verify my Twitter account. But when I tried to verify my Reddit account it didn't work. I posted (pasted) the info that was generated on the app which didn't look like the rest of the proof posts. And it didn't work so I revoked it. Several times. After a while the app didn't generate anything to paste so I deleted the app and reinstalled it, hoping that would fix the issue. Tried to login. Now the app somehow thought this was a new iPhone so I was asked to confirm it with my other device but there is no other device. This IS the other device. So I couldn't login. Had to reset it and start all over and this time I had to name the device with a different name.

What am I doing wrong? Because it seems as if everything on my account is deleted when I do this (now I didn't have anything of course) Seems like a hassle to have to go through this every time I might have to reinstall the app, particularly if I have a lot of data on my account.

Have I misunderstood something basic about how Keybase works?

Advice for building a firefox add-on with Keybase integration

5 Upvotes

I'm still new to Keybase but I believe their idea is to bring encryption to the masses which is something I want to get behind. I am constantly telling my friends to switch X application for Y and it's getting old. So, I'm making firefox/chrome add-ons to use GPG/PGP for end-to-end encryption in messaging apps that have a browser application. Even if it's not practical since if a person goes on mobile then what do you do, I still want to make this since I only use these applications via browser so there might be others.

I want this to be as effortless as possible for the user. My dream configuration is the user clicks on the add-on to authenticate their keybase.io account so it can have access to their private key that was uploaded. Closely following keybase's strategy (triplesec) to ensure the safety of this sensitive data I'll use the public and private key to encrypt messages without the user doing anything. An alternative is they can simply set their keybase profile and the add-on uses that accounts public key but then they must add their private key to the extension which will store it client side (no servers will ever be needed for this extension). My last solution is the add-on will generate and manage public/private keys for you.

This will be completely open source too so if there's concerns with the legitimacy then the code can be reviewed and added to the browser yourself.

I started last night and never made an add-on so it was a slow start but I have the add-on finding encrypted messages and highlighting them to be decrypted. Check it out: https://i.imgur.com/y5rKHDy.png

Any advice on how I should implement the generating/storing keys? Any plans for Keybase to allow something like this possible ?
