Description

Keybase GUI Version: 1.0.36-20171201172100+492737ab8

Using Fedora 27.

I've tried adding the device by every means available. Scanning the QR code from my phone seems to indicate that the process was successful and it tells me to follow instructions on new device, but the window on the computer does not proceed to the next step.

Have also tried entering text with no success.

Research direction

Reproduce the device-add flow on Fedora 27 using Keybase GUI version 1.0.36, testing both QR scanning and text entry. Trace why the computer window does not advance after the phone reports success; done means either flow reaches the next setup step or reports a clear failure.
