Pulsemeeter started and running no GUI/errors

[ZerkerEOD]

Describe the bug Pulsemeeter GUI does not appear, not located in the systray and if I try to open the application I see a pulsemeeter icon show as a blank document and it says its a text editor. Unable to find any GUI, and the terminal will say its already running which is verified when looking at my audio outputs as I have virtual ones appear.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Type pulsemeeter daemon or pulsemeeter init

Expected behavior Pulsemeeter GUI appears

Hi.

pulsemeeter daemon just starts the server and not the gui.

The other problem is a duplicate of #65.

@Fl1tzi, I saw that one but the error message looks similar but different. Looks like mine is having trouble decoding the json and not able to open the UI.

@ZerkerEOD both have the same traceback and are just started different. In result it is the same error.
