Description

After installing keybase client and running commands such as "keybase id" I am getting the following:

ERROR dial unix /run/user/1000/keybase/keybased.sock: connect: no such file or directory

This /keybase directory contains only keybased.info file.

keybase version - Client: 1.0.33-20171003193427+d9ceb86ac

system: linux Mint 18 64b

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported `keybase id` failure on Linux Mint 18 64-bit and inspect `/run/user/1000/keybase/keybased.sock` along with the client installation state. Confirm what prevents the socket from being created and verify that `keybase id` works afterward.
