Description

Hello there!

I installed KBFS on an instance of Ubuntu 14.04 a couple of days ago. I was able to successfully look at others' /keybase/public directories and even write my own index.md last night, but now, it doesn't work. Namely, there is no directory structure in /keybase at all.

ubuntu in ~(ruby-2.3.0) λ cd /keybase
ubuntu in /keybase(ruby-2.3.0) λ sudo ls -al
total 8
drwxrwxrwx  2 root root 4096 Apr 24 00:30 .
drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 4096 Apr 24 01:10 ..
ubuntu in /keybase(ruby-2.3.0) λ cd /keybase/public/readyp1
cd: no such file or directory: /keybase/public/readyp1
ubuntu in /keybase(ruby-2.3.0) λ cd /keybase/public/chris
cd: no such file or directory: /keybase/public/chris

I don't have access to a Windows/Mac machine at the moment, so I can't try dropping anything in there. What should I do?
