Description
[noahlz: keybase]$ keybase --version
keybase version 1.0.16-20160728160033+4e1c5b4
[noahlz: keybase]$ uname -a
Linux xps13-9343 3.13.0-37-generic #64bdw1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 25 14:01:25 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
When I try to provision using my paper key, nothing happens. In the desktop client, it does not proceed when I click continue (despite displaying the spinner for a few seconds). In CLI, the gtk dialog appears, when I enter the key correctly, it redisplays. When I enter the key wrong, it tells me which word was wrong.
No error messages immediately visible. It just keeps re-prompting for the paper key.

Research direction
Reproduce paper-key provisioning through the CLI GTK dialog and desktop client using the Ubuntu 14.04 environment shown. Investigate why a correct key is re-prompted without a visible error; done when the failure reason is surfaced and the input is not silently reset.
