Description
I just upgraded to F28. When I launch the desktop app in Fedora, I get only a frame and the white background. I think that I am missing the installer.json file
[sbb@dingo ~]$ /opt/keybase/Keybase
Error loading state: { Error: /home/sbb/.config/Keybase/installer.json: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/home/sbb/.config/Keybase/installer.json'

Research direction
Reproduce the Fedora desktop launch with /home/sbb/.config/Keybase/installer.json absent, then trace the installer.json read shown in the bundled Electron stack at /opt/keybase/resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js. Done means the app no longer opens as an empty window when that file is missing.
