Research direction

Start with the reported /opt/keybase/Keybase output and the desktop dist/main.bundle.js stack trace. Check how the missing ~/.config/Keybase/installer.json and the “No keybase bin path” error relate to the GUI startup path, then reproduce with keybase status on Ubuntu 14.04. Done means the GUI finishes loading without these errors.
