Json error about tribler HOT 2 OPEN

@hlubach Thank you for reporting. You mentioned the latest Linux mint version and Deb file installation, so I assume 7.13.2 version. Could you provide a bit more information below?

• The Deb file you mentioned, is it downloaded from the official https://tribler.org website, can you confirm? If not where did you get it from?
• Could you run the following command on terminal and share the terminal logs? It will show the logs and will give us more insights where the error originated from.
