@barning 👍 it's in the list now.
@alex 👍 it's in now.
@salimrezanewton Yes that’s ok.
@salimrezanewton Actually this was a bug in Keybase's postinstall script that created .config/keybase with root permissions. For anyone else who comes across this thread. The bug is fixed in the latest version v4.3.2. For those already affected `run_keybase` should tell you what to do. You may need to run `sudo chown -R $(whoami):$(whoami) $HOME/.config`
@salimrezanewton Great! Yes, if it works now that seems like a good solution. Curious what application made that ~/.config folder with the wrong permissions. But it's probably hard to tell.

@salimrezanewton Hi Salim, could be your ~/.config folder is not owned by you. Here's a github issue from another user showing similar errors https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/15233 .

Ensure that ~/.config is owned by you. Or if you're not familiar with how to do that, please send the output of `stat ~/.config`.

@alex It's in now!
@xvilo Yep, that would be a great way for it to work. We may get there eventually.
@xvilo It's not only through the app, making a proof through the https://keybase.io website works too. But only if you're a PGP-only user. Using the app means only someone with your phone/laptop can sign statements, so you get stronger gaurantees. If there's a Mastodon instance you'd like to use that's missing, lmk! There's no automated collector yet.

Keybase is for keeping everyone's chats and files safe, from families to communities to companies. MacOS, Windows, Linux, iPhone, and Android.

@xvilo Hey Sem, mastodon.org.uk should already be in the app.
