Description
On ChromeOS in a LinuxVM when launching via the Chrome Launcher (which uses the default keybase.desktop) the GUI interface never appears.
While debugging I found that after launching the desktop file from the Terminal using dex it appears there is a "browser crash" possibly due to no system tray being available in ChromeOS. Using run_keybase in the terminal and then /opt/keybase/Keybase & in the terminal or without the & in the keybase.desktop file allows the GUI to launch without issue.
