"Failed to Load config" on linux with the head of iceman proxmark3

[gbin]

First I had to work around the incorrect CLI syntax for the client: -p /dev/<port> -f

It looks like it starts but then I don't see the reason for the failure in the captured log:

[=] Session log /home/gbin/.proxmark3/logs/log_20220513.txt
[=] Output will be flushed after every print.

Hi. You need to follow these steps

1. Go to the Settings panel, set the start argument to -p /dev/<port> -f. The client will remember these settings.
2. Set the config file path, like ../config/config_rrgv4.13.json, then connect
3. If the GUI still can't connected to the hardware, check the Keep the client active even the PM3 hardware is disconnected

Thanks it works! maybe having some kind of sane defaults might help the usability :)

OK Thanks for your advice.
