Description
I am running Client: 5.8.1-20210930160723+fefa22edc1 on Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS via the command line. Similarly to the previous post,
I've just setup a new account, and logged into it through the web site. From this, I know the account is working and I've got the correct credentials.
I've created the account to use with a different Linux user from the command line only, when I try to login from the command line as that user I get this:
Your keybase username: xxx
▶ ERROR EOF
Passing the user name on the command line doesn't help
$ keybase login xxx
Failed to reach user-level systemd daemon.
▶ INFO Starting background server with pid=6514
▶ ERROR EOF
It seems this was a previous issue that appears to have popped up again: https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/3874.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

Research direction
Start by reproducing keybase login and keybase login xxx as a separate Linux user on Ubuntu 20.04. Compare the behavior with issue #3874 and inspect the reported systemd warning and ERROR EOF. Done means command-line login succeeds for the affected user without the EOF failure.
