Description

I've gotten a few popups saying that keybase was taking too long to something edit: read and has timed out. It also says I should keybase log send so you can take a look at it.

It's complaining about my two public folders, although my /keybase/public/donaldedgar folder seems to be working fine despite the complaint. The other one, which is shared with another user isn't currently being displayed in my filesystem.

edit: Happened again. I think the problem is in Win10 because I can't access any of the folders there, but have no problem on Linux with any of the folders.

The log id may have been from my linux box, but I can run it again on Windows if need be.

my log id: 005dc0b61fca4c69f451ba1c

Research direction

Start by reproducing the timeout on Windows 10, comparing access to the affected public folders with the reported Linux behavior. Run keybase log send to collect a current log and use the existing log id as context; done means the folders can be accessed without timing out and the platform-specific failure is identified.
