Description

Hello,

New to keybase, I have an account. Local machine is Linux. I can not log in using the command line 'keybase login '.

I then put in the passphrase which seems to work fine, but then it asks me what is the name of this device, I can type in any name (I'm not using anything but [a-z] chars), and each time it errors out with the message below:


  • Name your new device! *

Enter a public name for this device: galaga
▶ ERROR openpgp: invalid argument: no valid signing keys

Two different distro's fedora26 and slackware 14.2
Fedora26 running keybase version:
Client: 1.0.31-20170919160225+373810357
Service: 1.0.31-20170919160225+373810357

Slackware 14.2 running keybase version:
Client: 1.0.30
Service: 1.0.30

Research direction

Start by reproducing keybase login <name> on the reported Linux distributions and versions, focusing on the device-naming step that returns the OpenPGP signing-key error. Done means the CLI can complete login and register the new device without that error.
