Mac OS X: KBFuse.fs can't be opened

Open Stever888 opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

Keybase GUI Version: 5.4.2-20200424204055+7b0bbf1e3c

Just installed the latest Keybase yesterday. Trying to launch finder integration pops up a dialog box saying "kbfuse.fs can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information."

I have no idea what to do. I'm going to try deleting kbfuse.fs and trying again.

Catalina 10.15.4

... I noticed that at the bottom of the error dialog, it said "Brave downloaded this file [kbfuse.fs] yesterday." On a hunch, I deleted kbfuse.fs, set my default browser to be Safari, redownloaded the keybase distribution using Safari and reinstalled it. Then I launched it and told it to install the finder integration and this time it worked.

If you right click Keybase in your Applications folder (instead of double clicking it) and then click "open" it will let you run the file. Still is an issue that should be addressed or at least mentioned in install instructions for macOS.

I'm not sure which "it" you're referring to when you say I should "right click"...?

Still struggling with this. Can't open it (it opens in VSCode with right click -> open). Any updates / hints?
