STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. from command line I launch
[code]$ juk file.mp3[/code]
or
[code]$ juk "file.mp3"[/code]
or
[code]$ juk "file.mp3"[/code]
or
right clicking on the file manager on an mp3 file > open with > juk


OBSERVED RESULT
juk only opens up without playing any file. the only output I get from the cli is
[code]Icon theme "Vibrancy-Light-Teal" not found. qt.svg: Duplicate unique style id: "radialGradient8574"[/code]

EXPECTED RESULT
Juk starts up and begins to play the specified file
