k8s-surf does not work when transitioning from no config to having a config.

[robblovell]

Summary:

When installing and using k8s-surf for the first time, if you don't have a working kubeconfig installed, k8s-surf does not work once you have installed a working config file.

To Reproduce:

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Start without a working config file ( I had one active on a deleted cluster)
2. Install k8s-surf and start the daemon
3. Verify k8s-surf does not show results because of the missing or not working config (it would be nice to see that this is the reason it isn’t working as you can’t tell that now)
4. Download a config file and install it in ~/.kube/config
5. Verify you can query the cluster in a terminal
6. Verify that k8s-surf still does not show results.

Restarting the daemon with 'czctl stop'/'czctl start' fixes the problem.

Observed Results:

k8s-surf still does not show results

Expected Behavior:

k8s-surf should start working when the valid kubeconfig is installed.
