Description

I keep getting the following error when keybase starts:

Keybase Install Error

We were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't any device slots available...

Keybase FS used to work on this machine. It's an intel based mac book pro. I've read somewhere that Cisco Anyconnect can cause issues with all sorts of things and that was installed, but I've uninstalled it. I've checked to see if there are any kexts installed other than apple's and there's nothing there. Well at least kextstat -l | grep -v com.apple doesn't return any kexts.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Start with the reported log ID 478b6225e8a13374dfd2911c and the KBFS Fuse kext startup error on an Intel MacBook Pro. Determine the cause of the install failure and verify that KBFS starts successfully afterward, or document the limitation if it cannot be fixed.
