Description
After upgrading my 2019 Quad-Core Intel i7 MacBook Pro to Ventura I received the following error.
Keybase Install Error
We were unable to load KBFS (Fise Kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available. Device slots can be taken up by apps such as VMWare, VirtualBox, anti-virus programs, VPN programs and Intel HAXM. Please run 'keybase log sent" to report the error.
I followed the instructions and ran the program and now submitting the issue.
