Description

when I reboot my imac running OSX 10.13 I get a "keybase Install Error" we were unable to load KBFS (Fuse kext). This may be due to a limitation in MacOS where there aren't enough device slots available. Device Slots can be taken up by apps such as VMware, Virtualbox antivirus programs, VPN Programs and intel HAXM.

Please run 'keybase log send' to report the error.

Research direction

Start with the reported macOS 10.13 reboot path and inspect the KBFS (FUSE kext) load failure using the supplied log ID; check whether other device-slot consumers are present. Done means identifying a reproducible cause or concrete diagnosis for the Install Error, confirmed with keybase log send.
