Description
When upgrading to Ubuntu 24.05, the installer decided keybase was no longer neede!?
After the upgrade, the deb file delivered from keybase.io is not supported.
The snap requires snap set system experimental.user-daemon=true, which requires more work. How do we do this?
The Nix package install, but I get permission errors when running kbfs.
~ (master) [1]> sudo apt install ./keybase_amd64.deb
Reading package lists... Done
E: Unsupported file ./keybase_amd64.deb given on commandline
matstage@matstage ~ (master) [100]> sudo apt install keybase

Reading state information... Done
No apt package "keybase", but there is a snap with that name.
Try "snap install keybase"
E: Unable to locate package keybase
matstage@matstage ~ (master) [64]> snap install keybase
error: cannot install "keybase": experimental feature disabled - test it by setting
'experimental.user-daemons' to true

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported installation behavior on Ubuntu 24.04, checking the deb, snap, and Nix installation paths described in the issue. Done means a supported Keybase installation path is documented or restored and kbfs runs without the reported permission or installation errors.
