I interpreted that option as Keybase needing a local copy of the PGP key. Thanks for helping me understand that's not the case.

I've set up Keybase on my trusted machine with my GPG keypair, and now have a device key on that machine. When I go to Devices -> Add new... -> New Computer in the GUI I'm told to "Type in text code" (along with the note "In the Keybase app on your computer, go to Devices > Add a new device"). I find this confusing because I'm already there. I tried using the only paper key I have, the one corresponding to my first device key, but there's no response when I click Continue. This is the Linux client, by the way. I'm guessing this is a bug, but I'm not sure. Can you confirm this is the same process you went through to generate your second device key?

When I try to log in on the secondary computer, which doesn't have the GPG keypair or a device key, I'm brought to the same error shown in the screenshot.

on my trusted computer with my GPG key, I ran 'keybase device add', selected option 1 ("desktop or laptop") and it asked me to enter the "verification code" from the other device. It also said, "to get a verification code, run 'keybase login' on your other device", but I'm certain that I just clicked some buttons in the GUI instead of running that command.
