Description
I've had a couple of different errors appear when trying to set a friendly name for a new device that I've just logged into from the Keybase GUI. One of them mentioned something about getHostNode(); the other was different but I have, alas, forgotten the message.
I've since had an email confirming that the device has, in fact, been added to Keybase, but I can't get the GUI to move beyond the name-setting screen.
Ubuntu Linux, 64bit, amd64 package.

Research direction
The report concerns the Keybase GUI login and device-friendly-name flow and mentions getHostNode() plus log ID 1da20982fbc11df4f7c4261c; start by searching the client for getHostNode() and correlating that log. Done means reproducing the issue on Ubuntu Linux amd64 and allowing a newly added device to leave the naming screen without errors.
