Description

I am trying to install the app on 2 other OSs, and at one point I installed it on my primary box, however it was rebuilt and not I cant get it to start due to "ERROR dial unix /run/user/1000/keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory" - an error which Ive looked at all existing bugs on and after looking at the fixes, it seems to be more just something screwed up with my box as it works on another 17.04 ubnt.

Prob is all my other vm's either say access revoked, or wont let me login without typing in the sentence into another device to add it. I cant seem to just delete all devices while logged into keybase.io.

How can I delete my devices if I cant use command line or website?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported device-removal and login flow on keybase.io and the Ubuntu client, including the missing keybased.sock error and access-revoked state. No source files or tests are named; done means establishing a supported way to remove inaccessible devices and regain client login without another trusted device.
