Description

I am running Keybase GUI Version 1.0.28-20170815141344+c36e316 on Windows 10.

Trying to log in through the GUI gives this error after naming my computer:

There was an error provisioning
Unknown error: openpgp: invalid argument no valid signing keys

Here are some logs from keybase -d login:

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows 10 login failure with keybase -d login and trace the provisioning path from SignJson() through Delegator.Run() and DeviceWrap. Use the reported openpgp: invalid argument: no valid signing keys message to locate the relevant login and signing code; done means GUI provisioning completes without this error.
