Description

I am getting an error when I try to access the keybase file system on mac. The error occurs both in Finder and the app. I saw a solution you listed here: https://github.com/keybase/client/issues/10671

But the terminal line does not seem to work for me. Would much appreciate some help.

Error: ERROR CODE 218 - Keybase services aren't running - KBFS client not found. in method keybase.1.SimpleFS.simpleFSSyncStatus at new s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:561326) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:561922 at u (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:561961) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:1242674 at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:3018596 at e._call (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2580395) at file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2580535 at s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2580175) at e._fulfill (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2580505) at s (file:///Applications/Keybase.app/Contents/Resources/app/desktop/dist/main.bundle.js:1:2579706)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the referenced issue #10671 and the ERROR CODE 218 report, then reproduce the failure in both Finder and the Keybase app on macOS. Done means identifying a supported fix or documenting why the existing terminal solution fails and restoring access to the Keybase file system.
