Description

my log id: 941cfa52bce4bc8b1905101c

Status reports KBFS is running (see attached)
keybase_status.txt

    status:    running
    version:   1.0.2-20180625190403+7df19ba7
    log:       /Users/myname/Library/Logs/keybase.kbfs.log
    mount:     /Volumes/Keybase (myname)

Uninstalling, Reboot, reinstalling (w/reboot) doesn't change anything

> key base uninstall
> rm -Rf /Applications/Keybase.app

I've gone through the Troubleshooting steps here with no noticeable difference.

I've also removed and reinstalled FUSE for Mac OSX

Start with the attached keybase_status.txt and the KBFS log at /Users/myname/Library/Logs/keybase.kbfs.log, then review the linked Troubleshooting steps for the reported macOS High Sierra state. Reproduce the failure after the update and compare it with the reported running status and mount path. Done means identifying and resolving why KBFS cannot be loaded or mounted in this configuration.
